The Scout IX-3, an example of an internal mechanism blaster.
An internal mechanism (abbreviated as IX with N-Strike number codes, also known as internal single fire) blaster is a type of N-Strike dart blaster.
Details[]
Unlike external mechanism blasters, internal mechanism blasters house their plunger systems inside, rather than having a plunger rod sticking out to act as the priming mechanism. As such, many IX blasters are more compact than their EX siblings.
History[]
The first blaster to use the "IX" number code was the 2003 Scout IX-3.

Trivia[]
- The Unity Power System DVD refers to the Maverick REV-6 as the "Prototype IX-6", implying that the blaster was initially intended to be indexed as an IX blaster before it gained the REV designation. This is not too far fetched, as the Maverick does still technically use an internal mechanism.
