The A1.1 Mini Crossbow Mod

The A1.1 Mini Crossbow Mod
This is the mod of the A1 Crossbow. Even though I already have the A2, I think that the A1 definitely is better in some ways (its smaller, more powerful for its size), and it deserved to be modernized to a level that some of my newer guns are at. The gun is 9x6.5x2 inches, its size being improved by a couple inches in terms of its height, and about an inch width wise. The crossbow fires a larger 2x4(1/3) F round (meaning its a 2x4 brick with flat pieces on top). It has a range of 35+ feet. Here are the improvements:

-Improved Runway (More Accurate)
-Improved RB Holder (More RB Power, Smaller)
-More Stable Body (Meaning That More RBs can be put on)
-Improved Bottom RB Holder
-New Trigger Handhold (Smaller, More Comfortable)
-Improved Sight
