So I'm building my Storm and I've got a few questions.
1)what are those little pistol grip looking things? There's like 3 by themselves and a couple guys are holding them. I don't see a way to attach them to anything though nor a place to put the spare ones.
2)How do you guys that actually use these in game handle the crew in the back? Do you magnetize them or just leave them loose?
3)not nearly as important a question, but what's that thing on the driver's side on the front? Is it a sensor or a front-facing gun?

Thing on the front is supposed to be a kind of Airspeed sensor. Analogous to the pitot tube on certain modern day aircraft.
The only gun on it is operated by a scout.
The Terrain following sensors are on that boom underneath the hull.

They're grips for what I assume is a abseiling/rappelling system, ie a descent rope for the guys to jump down with while the speeder hovers. If you look at the picture of where the guy holding one grip is you'll see where they attach (boxlike things sticking out at the top of the crew compartment). If you don't have the box/assembly instructions, here's a picture off GW's site:

Personally I'm going to magnetize them and build custom bases I can magnetize each onto and use ingame. You can just glue them down if you want, there's no need to actually remove them from the speeder during play unless you want to use the scout models ingame. In using the speeder you'll likely have regular scout models anyway, depending on equipment, otherwise leave them loose and plop them onto bases (with magnets or pins or whathaveyou).
