I can see why Hasbro didn't give this blaster a number code and just decide to slap on "2x4". I think it should be IAR. ms for multishot is stupid. Why isn't it this Longstrike NS6 (nstrike)? Cause its clip system! Don't give it a number code based on series. And if you say it is a MS blaster cause it fires two darts at time, what about the barrel break? Same with SG. Barrel break was more shotgun like then the rough cut but it is IX. Yeesh. While I have nothing against the idea of calling it an 'IAR', I think that would create a lot of controversy from butt-hurt parents as 'IAR' also means 'Infantry Automatic Rifle' in actual weaponry's terms.
