(My attempt to add a Comment failed miserably, so here's a Review instead)
Per the Rules Reference for "Swap": "When swapping a card in a play area with a card in an out-of-play area, if those two cards: Share a title, neither card is considered to enter or leave play. Tokens, attachments, and status cards on the previously in-play card are transferred to the other card and the other card maintains the state (ready or exhausted) of the previously in-play card."
So if you swap an in-play used Sonic Rifle with an out-of-play copy attached facedown to Armed to the Teeth, the new copy will not be "fresh": it will maintain the exhausted state and have the same number of tokens.
You could swap between a Sonic Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Stun Gun , etc. -- as they don't share titles -- but I'm pretty sure none of the suggestions here for using "A second..." actually work.
