i think the idea abotu new guns is gr8....
but well, i think the texture of the gun should be the same offcourse.... BUT the Class 10 guns should have other colours, like the MK2 guns do... also they could be called different than the FL names... then there would NOT be Class 10 guns, like Skyblast C, or Salamanca MK3... there would be instead of em tottaly NEW guns...
about the colours isnt hard to choose, just pick a colour and it will be ok... for example:
Light Blue Firekiss
Violete Kraken
Dark Blue Tiz
realy realy RED Skyblasts
that would give to a fighter the chance to choose, and be pretty original with his setup, becouse there are guns like Coallition gattlings and PPCs, that mot ppl use... offcourse there are MK2 guns, that are cool, but no matter what guns do u choose, they are still cannons with refire rate 3.03 or 2.00, what doesnt make a big difference between them, differense is that some guns are stronger, and some faster, some just look better out, what doesnt give u the option to choose the better guns for ur personal style of fighting...
offcourse only if u use Nomad Blasters, or class 9 guns, or perhaps all missiles ::P
