Talk:Internal clip system

We already have a page on this, located at Integrated clip system. This whole thing is kind of shrouded in confusion. From what I've been able to dig up, Hasbro has used the ICS acronym for several different meanings. Our page on this particular style of blaster notes it as integrated clip system, while on the box for the Shadow ICS-6, it stands for internal clip system, and on the Battlescout 's box, it stands for indexing clip system. I've not actually been able to find any mention of integrated clip system being used, and if you think about it, it doesn't really make sense for some blasters. I'll leave this page up for now, but I think it will have to be deleted/altered at some point. Anyone got some ideas? I'm not convinced that integrated clip system was ever used, so should we make a page each for indexing and internal or keep them on one page?

Reference links: Wiki Guidelines * Wiki Code of Conduct * Manual of Style
 * Many of the N-Strike number codes don't have official names - hence why "integrated clip system" exists on the wiki and why blaster released after the fact have different names/explanations. Frankly, because this is made confusing by Hasbro's inability to pick one name and stick with it for anything it's ever produced, it may be best to merge integrated with internal, and then have a separate article for indexing. Blasters like the Battlescout and Rukkus would constitute as official indexing ones, while the Shadow would constitute as an official internal one. Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -

To be honest, I actually didn't realize the Integrated Clip System page even existed (I wasn't even on this Wiki in a long time), so I'm sorry for that. I would prefer this page to be merged with that page, but first I mean, which name makes more sense though? Integrated makes sense because most ICS blasters use integrated clips, but internal clip system would make a bit more sense because the Battlescout can remove it's clip.

I think what I'll do is make this page the internal clip system page, and turn the integrated page into the indexing page, like Jet suggested. Indexing and internal are both going to be separate pages because it would get confusing talking about two very similarly named yet different styles. Hopefully this will clear some of the confusion around this area.
