Ya ever notice how the N-Strike Designations are a bit more than mere random letters and numbers? I was thinking about it for a while, and I realized this. The letters are how the gun holds its darts, and the number is how many darts it holds. For example:

NiteFinder EX-3
External Storage, 3 Dart Capacity.

Maverick REV-6
Revolver Storage, 6-Dart Capacity

Firefly REV-8
Revolver Storage, 8-Dart Capacity

Longshot CS-6
Clip System Storage, 6-Dart Capacity(per clip)

The only ones I haven't been able to figure out were those of the N-Strike Unity System, Titan AS-V.1, Hornet AS-6, and Scout IX-3. The dart capacity numbers are still present and still make sense, but the letter designations don't.
So I was just wondering if you guys have ever noticed all this stuff. I personally find it pretty cool.

I never even thought about this. Pretty cool find. I guess I overlooked it.

But I do not(at all) get the Ix and the As letters. This should be an interesting thread.

[Rambo]

AS=Air system?

[elf avec gun]

Thats what I had been thinking RAMBO but that isnt an ammo storage method.

In the N-strike unity system when the hornet and the titan are connected both be fired at the same time, but the Scout cant be fired via the titan. Maybe the AS has something to do with that. and that is why the titan and hornet have the AS and the Scout doesnt...?

I am pretty sure the SSPB says AS1 on it, so that could easily be correct.

[PiMpDaDdY]

AS probaly means air shot. Because if you think about it, the titan ASV.1 shoots one rocket and the hornet AS-6 shoots 6 darts and they both are air powered guns but I don't know what the V in titan ASV.1 means.

[Flaming Hilt]

Variation 1, I bet. Because it shoots 1 rocket, not one dart. The ammo is variation 1.

[SPU-Nerf]

IX is very close to EX so what is the difference between the I and the E? (Scout and NF)

[SM750]

IX may mean internal because the darts are sort of in the gun. Just my thought.

YESSS!!!! That is it... The Nightfinder Has EX (External) and the Scout has (IX) Internal? Maybe?

I think there is a hidden Divince code in Nerf. Anyone wish to risk our lives to figure it out... If we do I want to be Tom Hanks...

[JurassicPark]

Maybe you could just email hasbro and ask..., But that might be to hard for you guys.

[Flaming Hilt]

This way is more fun.

See. Fun.

The V is the titan stands for version.

It is version 1.

[PiMpDaDdY]

The V is the titan stands for version.

It is version 1.

So your saying that the Big Bad Titan is the second version? If it wasn't called the Big Bad Titan would they call it the Titan ASV.2 blaster? I wonder?

[SPU-Nerf]

No I think that it has a version is because it shoots a missle not a dart.

[Rambo]

Yeah, we've established that it shoots a missle not a dart, but I don't see a V in either of those words.

I also don't see an X in Internal....

[Lancaster]

The V is the titan stands for version.

It is version 1.

Wait everyone! Hold everything! Nerfer34 seems to know the answer. JUST LOOK AT ALL THAT CONFIDENCE.

[wst50]

Hmm... IX

Maybe the X is just filler. Like a car, does GT or GTR sound cooler? Or it could be a continuity thing, as EX sounds cooler than E, and they wanted a logical 2 letter designation.

Or something... just ballpark idea there.

If your being sacastic then you're just a jerk.

[Enigma1313]

Back on topic and to prevent this from becoming a flamefest...

Yea, I was thinking the "X" is indeed just filler, kinda like Tx and Rx are Transmit and Recieve in the networking world, yet neither word has an x in it. So I guess "Internal" would make sense for IX considering you do pretty much shove the darts into the gun itself to store them, rather than in some kind of outside bracing device like on the NF. And the "AS", now that yall bring it up, most likely has something to do with Air, considering the Hornet and Titan are afterall the only two in the N-Strike line that operate on pressurized air rather than a plunger-and-tube.
As for the V, with no disrespect to nerfer34, I find it highly unlikely that it means "Version," for the simple reason that you normally dont call the first iteration of something "One" (unless you're Pokemon: The First Movie). I mean, the first Rocky movie wasn't called "Rocky I", it was simply called "Rocky." The Spyy Radian Mk. II is the re-iteration of the Spyy Radian (yo-yos, for those who dont know). "Variation" seems to be a sensical meaning for V to me.

[murakumo32]

AS=Air System

Maybe...My reasoning comes from being able to use the Titian interface to fire the Hornet.

[Cthulhu]

I was thinking Assault System because it can be semi-auto or used as a shotgun.

[elf avec gun]

They usually dont use the word "assault" in the name of children's toys. It brings some bad PR.
But yes that name would make sense, it just probably isnt it.
