1) no longer elastic based primer its all SOLID plastic yay
2) easy to load and feels nicer to prime
3) HUGE tac rail. possibly even two accessories
cons
1) no ammo rail like before. will need to make one myself
2) will be very difficult to mod for two reasons. The first is approximately 20 screws hold the front barrel mechanism together alone. The second is the barrels are about 2x the width of a dart so realistically a full barrel sleeve will need to be designed. maybe my first shot at a full brass barrel I think.
3) the one dart, two dart trigger is so much more sensitive than before. I've often been accidentally shooting both darts while practicing.
Overall I wouldn't rely on the IX-2 as a primary weapon but definitely as a secondary. If you have to be all bad ass and want a shotgun style primary I would highly recommend the roughcut 4x2 over this as the ammo is nicely set up and it is easier to mod than this gun.
I also forgot to mention a fairly good Pro... it's a badass shotgun :)
