Good work, and it's worth making a new thread for launchers. The built in Maglite mount is a good idea, and the iron sights are decent too. I'd have the rear site closer to the breech to increase sight radius, but I doubt that'd be a great factor in the accuracy of this gun.

Two quick tips on the forum, when you're posting a launcher, put it in the Showcase section, and this isn't a really quick board, we might get some 30-50 posts a day, so it'll take a day or two before you get a fair number of comments.
