About this deal
Once the pusher position switch is engaged, the mechanism shuts off and resets, waiting for the next trigger depression to start things over again. At that point, Hasbro could delete the switch to save money…and since molds were already made, there was no point in investing in new ones simply to remove that slot.
War use is still up in the air (if there’s wind, you’re out of luck regardless), but even so, we finally have accurate Ultra darts. Now, the Ultra Select is silently releasing, but (within reason) meeting those expectations, two years later. These Ultra Accustrike darts (for lack of a better current name) feature wide heads with flat fronts, similar to how Mega Accustrike was done.When that signal gets cut, the pusher motor is put into reverse, retracting the pusher instead of continuing the initial motion. This also corresponds to the area under greatest stress when ULTRA Darts impact their target, weakening this joint and often causing the heads to come loose or detach.
ULTRA was first leaked in early 2019, with Brickseek listings for the ONE and the twenty-piece ULTRA Dart Refill. It has a streamlined dart head, similar to that of Mega Darts, though the dart heads of ULTRA Darts feature two small parallel holes towards the top. The blaster still retains the standard Ultra-sized grip, along with a hand guard that’s restrictive for larger fingers, especially in the trigger area.The full-auto only operates at two darts per second, but it also doesn’t see any notable slowdown in launch velocity. The operation is as you’d expect – depress the rev trigger to turn on the flywheel motors, then pull the main trigger to fire.
