TFC-004 Gear of War Launchers?

So I've had this upgrade for a good long while now and I just opened it tonight. I put Inferno together, messed around with the autoscout and put the Mirage box together. Great, finished right? Wrong, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the launchers and missiles. See I also have the FansProject G3 trailer that came with weapons. So Mirage is using that shoulder cannon. Henkei Red Alert is fine with his chromed weapon as his shoulder cannon. So what should I use these leftovers for?

I gave a launcher to Fracture and Drag Strip. They're quite fetching actually.
Fracture has Silver missile with Red Launcher
Drag Strip has Red missile with Black Launcher
Ghost Mirage has Black missile with Silver launcher.

My Mirage has both launchers. One on either shoulder.

None of you guys had any probs with them? Mine suffered from the same issue as mentioned in Vange1us' YouTube video review: the chroming is too thick so the missiles are stuck in the launchers. I dig the autoscout and Inferno accessories, but was really disappointed in the launchers; mine are permanently jammed in there pretty good. I use two of them as dual handheld rocket launchers for Classics Cliffjumper (red launcher with black missile, black launcher with silver missile), and the silver one with red missile for Red Alert's shoulder launcher.

Mine don't fire either. But I got it at a lower price than advertised and mostly just for the Autoscout.

You mean Shattered Glass Mirage? ;) I don't have that one or Fracture. Kinda regret that now. Keep up the suggestions folks, I'd like to arm up more prominent G1 characters with them.

My red one jammed pretty badly, messed up the spring inside too, so it won't launch at all.

I use the black launcher with the silver missile for Universe Sideswipe's shoulder launcher. The silver one I use for Mirage.

I rarely fire my missiles, so no problem with me.
