Muzzlepoint not working

I have a rocket launcher, and i set up all the nodes correctly (i think, cuz the mountpoint works fine), but the rocket fires out of the center of my "marine" character. when he uses the crossbow it fires correctly.

also, i have no "look up" or "look down" anims for my marine, so if i aim up and shoot with his model still looking forward, would the rocket just come from the tip of the launcher and go up, or is that wrong?

alternately, when i have the orc fire my rocket launcher it fires from where the crossbow muzzle would be (sort of in front of the rocket launcher muzzle, but not where i placed the muzzlepoint.). how come the orc knows where to fire from, is it in his script?

any and all help appreciated!
