My Longman's says that the meaning of "restore" is "return something to its original condition". I doubt the pitting is original ;), so if you're determined to restorethe guns, andit takes lazer wielding, etc., then that's what has to be done. On the other hand, is there any other reason for your messing with these guns but the fun of it? So take the route that involves more fun! JMO.
