The C3.2 Lego Crossbow-Rocket Launcher

The C3.2 Lego Crossbow-Rocket Launcher
The C3.2 is the second specialist mod I've made of the C3. The C3.2 is a crossbow-rocket launcher, meaning that it's basically a crossbow that shoots my X2 rocket projectile, instead of much smaller bricks. Probably my strongest gun to date, it shoots the rockets to about 35 feet (albeit not very accurately at that distance). At 15 feet, it can penetrate cardboard, such as a cardboard box. It can also break glass + CDs. This is what I did to mod this gun:

-Raised the outer parts of the firing runway, so that the rocket will stay inside the crossbow until firing.
-Raised the RB holders
-Raised the firing gear
-Changed the trigger to make up for the higher firing gear
-Changed the sight (higher, and easier to use)
-Took off the stock (stock isn't necessary for a rocket launcher)

Unlike the C3.1 mod, to build this gun, ALL THE STEPS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS INSTRUCTABLE.

This is the back half of the bottom (which is the handle and the part which supports the trigger), and the firing trigger.
