The Scout IX-3 is an internal mechanism Nerf blaster that was released in 2003 under the N-Strike series.
It comes packaged in the Unity Power System blaster set.
Details
The Scout uses a priming slide similar to the Maverick REV-6, yet loads from the muzzle like a Nite Finder EX-3 or Element EX-6.
The Scout features a tactical rail and storage for two extra darts. A button on the slide enables the blaster to be fired by a button on the Titan AS-V.1 when connected as part of the Unity Power System.
