Question for game modelers

Out of curriosity, when you model something, how do you know it's the correct "size"? I've tried messing around in 3dsMax and stuff and I know (generally) how models are made, but if I make say, a new grenade for some game, how do I know it won't be imported the size of a pea, or larger than the player himself?

I think, when you drag a box, it gives you the values below on a toolbar at bottom.
Also depends on size of the grid, default is 10x10m

The scale relative to the other parts is all done by the modeler, but the actual size in-game is determined by the person importing the weapon or vehicle.

Basically it becomes a game of scaling, exporting, seeing the result, tweaking, repeat, until its the right size. BF1942 used to have a scale option for models so that you could change their scale once they were already exported, but unfortunately thats no longer possible with BF2. Kind of a pain because if we still had that option then we could change sizes of stock BF2 vehicles to be more realistic.
