How about this:

1) Get 2spring loaded shock absorbers
2) Make tubes around the shock absorbers with
  your projectiles inside the tubes
3) Attach a girder to the shocks with holes on
  the sides still vailable
4) Run an axle through the MF and the middle of
  your shocks.  Attach it to a girder as wide
  as your other one.  Put axles sticking up
  from it on both sides.  These axles will hold
  the girder attached to the shocks in the
  squeezed position.
5) Load the tubes.
6) Push the axle and it should free the shocks
  and shoot the missiles...

Sounds sort of like the mechanism I've used to make launcing torpedoes on
a submarine I "LDrew", which was based on the "space cannon" from my
website:

Choose 'Space' from the left, the choose the 'Interstellar Battleship'.
From there, go to the 'Space Cannon'.
Hope that helps!

Thanks Bram and Mike for the ideas, I tried these ideas and got reasonable results using the larger shock absorber piece that comes with the black supercar. But still a little lacking for launching a missle made out of two round 1x1 and one round (...) (26 years ago, 19-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)
