No elitism please, I just want to know a few simple things from those who have a decent amount of experience with it.
- What color are the bullets?
- Can it stagger enemies?
- Does it have a different firing sound than Callahan/Mega Magnus or is it all the same?
- Can you provide information on it's future buff?
Well of course, I just wanted to know if there were any speculations or leaked information. Never expected a quick, straight answer, it's not like a developer will pop right in the thread and spill the beans on it's changes.
I just hope it gets the right buff. And the most important question was the staggering, really. If it can really stagger all the common enemies then I'm definitely crafting it one of these days.

Around 9:15 mark. Yellow/brownish bullet. Same as magnus?
I own an Iron Slug and I can answer your questions.
- Orange bullets, same as Magnus and Mega Magnus, opposed to Callahan's blue. Oddly enough, Daxen only sells the orange bullet ones (you have to get Callahan from Izola).
- It can flinch mobs like anything else in the Magnus line, just with normal damage.
- Same sound effects as the rest of the Magnus line. That's usually the case with all weapon lines.
- No one outside of OOO can tell you anything about the buff other than it's getting one because no furthur information was given. We can make assumptions that it might get a slight damage buff or a stun effect or something, but other than that we don't have a clue.
Everything Dukeplatypus said is right, and in fact the Iron Slug can stagger a greater variety than the callahan, since it's normal damage. Most notably, you can interrupt any turret with the second shot and any lumbar with the first (yes, that means you can stun-lock the rocket puppy in FSC!). Devil IT and wolvers are still knocked, as well as all gremlins (though the larger ones seem to be slightly less than consistent). I think I remember scuttle-bots being interrupted too. I'll be doing a more complete survey later, once I craft more damage gear to see if it has any effect on staggering.
Add me (ign Zephuros) if you want to see it yourself.
I can't answer all these, but I can confirm that it does staggers enemies.
It does have the same firing sound, I'm pretty sure.
I don't think anyone has even a hint of what its future buff will be though.
