The Shadow ICS-6, an example of an internal clip system blaster.
Not to be confused with the system using the same number code.
An internal clip system (abbreviated as ICS with N-Strike number codes) blaster is a category of Nerf blasters that use a built in non-removable clip to store darts.
Details[]
Internal clip system blasters use an internal clip built into the shell of the blaster to store darts.
History[]
The first blaster to use the number code was the Shadow ICS-6 in 2019, initially confused to belong in the indexing clip system category of blasters, such as the Battlescout ICS-10 and the Rukkus ICS-8, due to their identical "ICS" designations. An unofficial distinction was eventually formed between the categories due to the clear differences between the blasters, although this may not have been officially recognized by Hasbro.[citation needed]

Trivia[]
- Like the conventional clip system, the internal clip system erroneously refers to the dart-holding devices as “clips” rather than "magazines”.
