The gun I have is pretty nice (full-metal, upgraded internals, etc etc. Around 430-450 fps), or at least by my standards, so I'd like to avoid buying a whole new one if possible. If that is the only practical route, then I'll do it.
It's a Classic Army.
I'll look into getting AV'd, but its hard since I don't have access to a car, and the matches aren't exactly close to me. I'll read up on the FAQ
