This weekend at our clubs launch a member who is moving and will not have time for rocketry in the near future, literally gave away his rocketry stuff. I received a started but partial Giant Leap Rocketry Nuclear Sledgehammer kit which basically is missing only the fins, as all the other components appear to be present. The AV-Bay is complete with what appears to be 2 first gen RRC2 altimeters (each has its own bay) and two what appear to be holders for Co2 cartridges (one black and one red). I also have another bay for a rocket that has two more Co2 holders which are green and has a Perfectflight Mini Alt. All altimeters I believe to be unflown. Attached are pictures of the kit and various parts, help identifying the Co2 holders systems and if I can get the rest of the parts would be awesome.

Pic 3 the RRC3 from one of the two bays in the Nuclear Sledgehammers AvBay cluster the black canister holder is visible under my fingertips.
Pic 4 the Nuclear Sledghammer kit as I have it, everything but the fins, including a chute (appears to be a Cert 3XXL, new and unflown in a Giant Leap Tac-9B deployment bag), a 75mm slimline motor retainer, and a complete set of vinyl decals (I think). Really not much to add to get this kit built and flyable, just a couple of harnesses, a drogue, fins (easy for me once I have the Rocksim/OR file, or maybe I will just design my own to fit the existing slots). The piece of airframe next to the rocket is a section of Loc 5.38".
