Darts are still loaded in the muzzle, it simply has three barrels. That has nothing to do with the standard definitions of the number codes anyway. EX series blasters have an external priming handle (like the Nite Finder and Jolt, among others), and the number says how many darts the blaster holds at a time. The priming mechanism on the Triad is the same as on the Jolt (just slightly bigger), and it holds three darts at once, thus it's number code, if it had one, would certainly be EX-3.
