i think he should do whatever he wants, we don't want to force him to buy or do something he doesn't want, but a little guidance is good, he should upgrade it till he is happy with the performance and stick with it. but i agree that his next gun should be a TM or CA, i find them to be the best out of the box, Ca has nice fps, TM has a pleasing rof, its for him to decide. sorry if i sounded a little pushy there 8-[
