*** Exploded view provided for assembly***

PART 1: the shell holder and tube mount.
Parts list:
Cradle shell bracket part 1
Cradle shell bracket part 2
Cradle tube mount
Instructions: Glue all of these together. You may choose to align with cut wooden skewer pins.

PART 2: Firing mechanism
Parts list:
Mechanism front plate
Mechanism firing-pin
Mechanism plunger
Mechanism side-panels
Mechanism backplate

Instructions:

1. Put the pen spring into the front plate hole
2. Put the spring into the firing pin's front hole
3. Glue the front plate and backplate to one of the side panels
4. Align the pin and plunger into their V-grooves. Leave these free-floating
5. Glue the second side panel in place, locking the parts together.
   NOTE: the plunger will be free moving

INTERMEDIATE INSTRUCTIONS:
Align your firing mechanism to your pipe. Front plate should be level with tube's lip. Mark the plunger's hole on the pipe and drill that hole through your pipe.

PART 3: Trigger mechanism
Parts list:
Body
Panels (with wedges and hinge pins)
Trigger
Sight

Instructions:

1. Glue side panels to the trigger core.
2. Once panels are glued, fit the wedges into their grooves
3. Slide the completed firing mechanism into the tube.
4. Insert a 35mm cut section of wooden skewer through the hole in the pipe and into the plunger inside, making sure the holes are aligned.
5. Place the trigger mechanism on top of the frame, aligning the second hole with the plunger's pin.
6. Screw your two 1" wood screws through the 1st and last hole in the core piece, directly into the firing mechanism inside the tube.
   NOTE: Make sure the mechanism functions or you have screwed too far!
7. Slip the sight and the trigger in their respective places and lock with hingepins.

BONUS STEP:
The firing mechanism has holes in the side panels but not the core. Drill through the core and insert safety pin provided in the designs for realism.

FIRING INSTRUCTIONS:
CHECK to make sure firing pin does not protrude through the cradle hole too far or your shell will go off when loading.

1. Load your airsoft 40mm gas grenade shell into cradle (You may wish to have a rubber band hold it in place when carrying)
2. Pull safety pin to flip up sight (allowing trigger to be able to move)
3. Push down on trigger lever to push the pin which will make the mechanism push the pin on your airsoft 40mm grenade shell, setting it off.
