By that logic, Elite is truly wonderful when Ultra, Hyper, or Rival is not on the field 😛

What your Nerf Club is doing is called "handicapping". They are artificially making ULTRAs more effective than Elites. And in doing so, your Nerf Club is essentially acknowledging that ULTRAs are 33% less effective than Elites.

Performance testing across the hobby has shown that ULTRA darts have the same performance profile as Elite MEGA darts. Same size, same weight, same ballistic profile, same consistency. But ULTRA blasters shoot between 90 and 100 FPS, whereas MEGA blasters are typically only 70 FPS.

So if the Nerf Club was math savvy, they would handicap ULTRA darts and make 3 ULTRAs equal 2 MEGAs. After all, we all know how hard it is to tag someone with a MEGA.

ALSO FACTOR IN THEY NEVER LAST FOR CRAP BECAUSE THEY’RE CHEAPLY MADE AND POORLY DESIGNED

Eeeeew, all caps. He must be serious 😂 🤣 😂

I'm gonna totally +1 that. After doing a little research I've discovered ULTRA's dirty little secret. The dart heads are just dome-shape caps that are loosely glued onto the foam shaft. There's nothing physically attaching them to the dart (like every other ammo type) 👎

That's sooo incredibly cheap. At 50¢ apiece, I expect WAY more from Hasbro™.

That’s what I’ve been saying…

Coulda posted a pic 😜

Coulda schmoulda. Got someone else to do it for me 😜

Jk, I just didn’t think lol

Ultra's is fun the only horrible thing are the darts. They're inaccurate, cheaply made, and have no longevity. I have the select, pharoh, and two. They're great blasters but the darts as previously stated by everyone here aren't good at all. But the darts does fly longer ranges. Tactically its inefficient, but lots of fun.

I guess it took a little while to get some real-world feedback on ULTRA dart's longevity/dependability. Knowing what I know now, I am incredibly disappointed that Hasbroke™ completely failed to deliver after hyping this series to the point of being outright dishonest.

At 50¢ apiece, nerfers should expect ULTRA darts to be rugged, durable, AND somewhat accurate. Turns out none of that is true. So in addition to all the ̶l̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶p̶a̶g̶a̶n̶d̶a̶ hype about being the "farthest flying Nerf dart EVER", we can add "most durable Nerf darts EVER" to the list 🙄

Thanks for the feedback everyone 👍

Agreed ... sort of. But it has nothing to do with the darts. They don't fly longer ranges. The ULTRA blasters just shoot harder.

If Hasboink™ had made N-Strike MEGA blasters that shoot 100± FPS, then there would be no need for ULTRA. And ironically, N-Strike MEGA darts pretty much last forever.

I think ultra blasters in general look cool, but for the price, it sucks. They consistently lie about their blasters being high performance and their darts reaching up to 120 feet. That explains how the Ultra 1 didn't do well and performed like your average Nerf N-Strike Elite blaster. I think that the best ultra blasters are the Ultra 4, Amp (Focus), Ultra Select, and Pharaoh.
