  Why is this part under the Bar category:
 
Part No: 61680  Name: Projectile Arrow, Bar 6L with Round End
* 
61680 Projectile Arrow, Bar 6L with Round End
Parts: Projectile Launcher
but this very similar one is (rightfully so) under Projectile Launcher?
 
Part No: 15303  Name: Projectile Arrow, Bar 8L with Round End (Spring Shooter Dart)
* 
15303 Projectile Arrow, Bar 8L with Round End (Spring Shooter Dart)
Parts: Projectile Launcher


This has been completed in accordance with

  Meanwhile both of their respective bricks are under Projectile Launcher:
 
Part No: 61185c01  Name: Projectile Launcher, 2 x 4 with 5 Studs, Axle Hole and Pin Lever
* 
61185c01 Projectile Launcher, 2 x 4 with 5 Studs, Axle Hole and Pin Lever
Parts: Projectile Launcher
 
Part No: 15301c01  Name: Projectile Launcher, 1 x 4 Spring Shooter with Light Bluish Gray Top
* 
15301c01 Projectile Launcher, 1 x 4 Spring Shooter with Light Bluish Gray Top
Parts: Projectile Launcher

Also, how come there aren't relationships that match projectiles with their
compatible launchers, and vice versa? I feel like that would be useful.


To have a relationship like that, we would need to have two separate categories
for the projectiles and the projectile launchers similar to having two separate
categories for tires and wheels. This is something that can be discussed and
would only occur during a major catalog move cycle.

Cheers,
Randy
