After reading your posts, I've learned about JIS screws. I had a look at my Hound and sure enough, that part is cracked:



I took the missile launcher out altogether, and I've noticed that the part with the post is painted whereas the connecting parts that link to the missile launcher aren't. Note the different shades of green.



Now I'm contemplating taking some hobby sandpaper to that post to remove some paint and shave down its diameter a bit, so it won't be quite so snug in the slot.
