Im trying to design a SNAP, based off both Carbon, and Rork's work, using the best of both designs, however, I have figured out what makes a Crossbow a Crossbow. Its not the range, not the accuracy, its the look. All else is second nature to how it looks. I have come up with an easy to achieve cosmetic design, but it still doesn't look quite right. I would love some help perfecting it, so thats where your eyes come in. What makes this still no look like a Crossbow? Keep in mind I am working mainly with PVC pipe, so most of it will end up being curved and such, but what else can I do?
Here is the current stages of design I have went through.

That was the initial design. Crappy huh? But it was a rough... done in paint

This is the V2, revamped and whatnot, but it still doesn't have that Crossbow Flare. Im trying to get as close as I can here.
Suggestions? Internals are not a problem, as this is a simple gun.
