Comment on Can you scale down a firearm to make an identical looking firearm that fires a different round?

Short answer no, not everything scales linearly.

You’d have 1/8th the powder charge in a chamber with 1/8th the volume, encased by a barrel 1/2 as thick to contain the same pressure as the full size one.
