The A1.2 Mini Lego Assault Crossbow

This is the second modification of the A1, and probably the most significant one. This new crossbow can be disassembled into 5 pieces, and then reassembled into the crossbow in under 30 seconds (my record is 27 seconds anyway). It also features a new type of trigger: a modified gear trigger, which instead of having the interlocking gears inside the gun, the interlocking gears are to the side of the crossbow (this saves on space). The length of the crossbow has also been slightly shortened, and a new sight added. The gun fires a 2x4 (F) brick (F means with a flat piece on top). It has a range of 35+ feet (depending on rbs) and it is very powerful and accurate.

Improvements over A1.1:

-Can be disassembled into 5 pieces, then field assembled in under 30 seconds
-A new, reliable gear trigger
-Slightly shorter in length.
-Better sight

Just pointing this out but... None of these are really crossbows. =\. The definition of a crossbow is: A weapon consisting of a bow fixed crosswise on a wooden stock, with grooves on the stock to direct the projectile. These look like crossbows, but you don't really have a bow on there. Bow - a weapon for shooting arrows, composed of a curved piece of resilient wood with a taut cord to propel the arrow. So my point is... These are crossbow shaped slingshots. Not crossbows. Just sayin'.

I can't find the two 2x1 in picture 4 with two holes in each one. Is there possible to use ones with one hole by any means?
