That would be more like 171mm.

you can use google to convert a lot of units of measurement

That's kind of a trick question isn't it?
i.e. a 6 3/4 in figure of a child is a different scale than a 6 3/4 full sized adult figure.
Plus posture, etc.

He has a point. Is it a figure of an adult human?

The usual convention is that the figure is of someone a standard six feet tall, standing upright. Six feet is 72". A terribly simple calculation (you can do it with a pencil and paper if you remember your long division) makes that a scale of 1:10.67. Well, actually ten-and-two-thirds. Or, in the other style of figure scale, 6.75" is indeed the same as 171mm, give or take.
Those are pretty rum numbers. Neither seems like a standard scale. My question would be not whether the figure is an adult, but whether you're sure of that measurement.

Some manufacturers measure figure height from the feet to the eyes rather than the top of the head; in which case, a 6-foot (1.83 m) figure in 28 mm scale would be 30 mm (to the top of the head) tall. As a result, 15 mm figures can be variously interpreted as 1:100 scale or 1:120.
Decide for yourself. Feet to eyes or Feet to top of head.

171mm...would a 150mm (1/12) gun work, or would that be too small?
It's not a human figure. It's a robot, but not a Gundam or mecha.

To complicate matters, 54mm used to be a standard scale for figures, then, some 20 - 25 yrs ago, figures magically grew to 60 mm, but are still generally classed as "54 mm".

Usually are measured from the feet to the eyes and the most common scale are 1/72,1/76,28mm,32mm or 1/56, 1/48,1/35,1/32,54mm,75mm,90mm, 120mm,200mm... but every manufacturer have is own "standard" or ways to measure
many time for some manufacturer 54mm and 1/32 are the same scale.

I think 1/12 would be fine. Robots often tend to be taller than people.
