Is NERF just running out of ideas now? NERF Ultra is already the favorite punching bag of anyone in the foam dart ecosystem for being a super expensive and hyper marketed dub that offered the end-user nothing but terrible accuracy... until the advent of NERF Ultra Accustrike. While the darts are better, the newest blaster in the line with the NERF Ultra Strike leaves a lot of room for improvement if they think it's worthy of a $50 price tag, especially compared to their previous offerings which you can still find on shelves for cheaper. Probably just buy an Ultra Amp or Ultra Select.

nerf ultra coming in clutch as being the most not asked for yet most pushed line ever to come out, this is kind of the only one I'd consider buying, but that ultra ammo is such a turn off
There's something about the aesthetic that grabs me.
You sure those fork-knife blasters aren't pushed more than ultra?
@@the_one_true_Klaus_Blunk. They don’t overmarket them like they do with Ultra
@@Grenino fair enough
the ultra amp with accustrike might be another tho
Ultra blasters seem like they are better for cosmetic/cosplay use rather than at blaster battle events. The 2 can be painted up into an AMAZING hand-cannon for any number of settings. The Select is an AMAZING carbine profile. And, the Strike here has a pretty fantastic DMR aesthetic.
Don't forget the Pharaoh, it's an awesome blaster for paintjobs.
No wonder why I like the Ultra blaster shells so much, they're hitting me right where I'm weakest at, the aesthetics.
Is that a marathon or quake con pfp?
Loved the Pharoh, had to get one and mod for short darts. Cuz I like the looks and hitting what I'm aiming at.
That's what's always sucked the most for me about this line. I could care less if they were like the roblox blasters were they look bad and perform badly. These (and that turquoise on elite 2.0) appeal to me so much on an aesthetic level but man do they blow as actual blasters.
It's a big fancy AMP reskin with extra features and a bigger mag.
Think of it as the Cam ECS-12, which was... a big fancy Stryfe reskin with extra features and a bigger mag.
Edit: the bigger platform does mean there is more room for a dual, or even triple-stage cage!
The Cam feels a lot more premium than the Stryfe, ignoring the camera. Maybe the Strike is worth paying extra for if the ergonomics are significantly better than the Amp? But considering how consistent Ultra's shell design has been so far, I doubt it.
I own the Cam. Love it, suuuper comfy.
@@smittzero8463 The grip on the Strike is already worth 50 bucks, I'd say. It looks and feels very different from the "traditional Ultra grip".
If this thing can take Kuryaka's short dart AMP conversion without too much trouble, it'll be useful and comfy.
It shoots way harder than the amp... I think Walcom mayve been a bit bias on this one... th-cam.com/video/kMnd2jlysgA/w-d-xo.html
I remember the CAM. I remember Bobololo absolutely ripping it to shreds.
Do you guys remember what the Stampede came with 4 magazines back in the day?! 3x 18 stick mags and a 6 dart mag, THAT was some good value right there :' )
I'm still waiting for the NERF Ultra Anti Air Cannon.
I am still waiting for nerf to stop using the word strike in their blasters and clip.
@@DoloresUmbridgeairsoft YES
@Kristijan Jovanović that too.
@@DoloresUmbridgeairsoft *Magazines, actually. I get that the box says clip, but it's a magazine in this blaster's case. Sorry if this comes across as rude, I'm not trying to be.(:
It would be a supersized Jolt that shoots darts the size of watermelons.
Your commitment to being your best self is admirable. As for the blaster. Definitely a wait for a sale. $50 would have been fine if they included 2 mags and double the darts.
"Where's the value, Hasbro?"
"Gone, reduced to atoms"
Honestly nerf needs to stop racking the prices of their products up unless they really believe it should cost fifty or forty dollars
I often see people saying that every company in the foam dart blaster industry is progressively making their products more and more expensive with very few upgrades, but in reality it's just Hasbro
I’d love to see new Ultra blasters that standardize the pinpoint dart. Although it is a proprietary ammo type at the moment and getting darts ain’t too easy, but I do like the performance of the Ultra blasters
The ultra strike actually looks really good with an eagle point scope
I hope that ultra actually starts making more unique blasters like the ultra 2. The ultra 2 and pharaoh are the only 2 ultra products I bought, and I want another use for my ultra darts, but nothing else in the ultra lineup seems any good (maybe the amp, but idk). You have this ultra-durable dart type, so start doing things that weren't possible with standard elite darts already
Like what?
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 Some new blaster types that use the durability and rigidity of the darts to their advantage. Basically something new, like the ultra 2.
Just found an Ultra three at the thrift store. It's definitely my favorite ultra blaster
I love how real you are. Maybe you script some of your stuff but I can hardly tell. Just seem like a genuinely nice guy who has an interest in the hobby
The Microswitch in the barrel is the value I don’t get how people can forget such innovation
$50 with hasbro: A GOOD LOOKING Nerf ultra rifle with nothing special and comes with one mag.
$50 with Dart Zone Pro/Adventure force: A badass minigun with 30 rounds and connectable chains. Also, a 160 fps+ pump action sniper that shoots half length darts all together.
(Everyone is mad that I said that the Nerf Ultra Select was ugly)
Not ugly.
We get it. You people like to bag on Nerf and simp for Dart Zone. For fuck's sake.
@@ProfessorPhysics2 srry if i angered you. I'm just telling the truth.
@@hezler4430 ok. that's your opinion.
Nah, this thing is definitely far from ugly (have you seen the Roblox blasters by any chance)? I don't know what it reminds me of specifically but it kinda gives off a DMR/heavy assault rifle vibe. But there's no denying Dart Zone blasters at this price point will blow this out of the water. I'd say the only good reason why anyone would have one of these is if they don't already own a AMP/Focus or Select and/or if it's on sale.
I was about to be positive, and say you have to fix what's wrong with ULTRA before moving on to something new, but $50? I like the shell of this blaster, though I wonder if you can take the internals from a Select and put them in a Strike.
It has the same cage, but that's about it. You'd need to cut up everything inside to fit a Select pusher.
@@GresSimJa ah phooey. Well replacing the grip with this one should be possible.
When will Hasbro stop making simple mistakes with the Ultra line? There was no reason for the barrel to be a one-way insert and the Strike looks pretty cool without it.
We are loving ULTRA - after having a collection of old, beat up blasters (zombie, Star Wars, N-Strike), none of which seem to shoot farther than 10 feet, if they fire at all - we bought an ULTRA Select not even knowing about the new darts. Got it home, and loved it. Then we ordered another Ultra, and got the Focus from Amazon, and we like that one even better.
Who is ULTRA for? For me! Someone who isn't necessarily trying every new line of blasters, and wants something that shoots better than the old guns we have. Ultra delivers this.
That said, I DO wish it was more accurate. I would love adjustable sights, and the ability to shoot target practice in the house with Nerf.
Maybe I should make a video comparing my experience of shooting old guns vs. these new Ultra.
I’m actually currently working on a cage and short dart adapters for this blaster using Kury’s amp stuff. Even making a talon mag adapter piece for the rear stock. Already rewired and eliminated all locks on it so no more Giant barrel
ultra is the perfect demonstration of why you should focus on function before looks.
the $50 is in that extra microswitch and wiring that forces you to put the barrel on to use it.
I never paid attention to most sponsors, but Noom looks like something I would actually use
love the accuracy testing now. very professional
And doing music going into the range was a nice touch👍👍
I thought about this when I saw it online, paused, noticed it didn't do anything special, and then went and bought a second worker nightingale. I think the only evolution Nerf can and should do is, ditch ultra, and go Stefan sized ammo, and then push for approval into the overly difficult countries, or just have them easily interchangeable to support the Stefan sized ammo. similar to the likes of Dartzone, where they have mag adapters and simply not sell the Stefan mag adapters and ammo to the countries that don't support it.
Nerf will never do short darts because they don't control that. Nerf wants to, at least temporarily, lock you into their ammunition ecosystem where you have to buy their overpriced darts. And on top of that, they can count on well-meaning parents and relatives buying things like Fortnite blasters for their child relatives while regardless of quality, brands like Dart Zone and XShot have a very hard time shaking a perception as "cheap knockoffs".
If Nerf ever does a short dart format (a hypothetical Nerf Pro or somesuch), they're going to pick a proprietary length and/or diameter that will not be compatible with the blasters or magazines we have. I can say with pretty solid confidence that we will never ever see a 12.7x38mm official Nerf brand dart because then they'd have to compete in a space where Dart Zone already has a very solid grasp.
this one is basically an amp with a different shell.
I did the same thing with my Ultra Strike and an Eaglepoint scope and with the way the rails are positioned it just didn't look right. There should be a rail where the unjamming door is. I wish so much it had a cool detachable scope.
Tried searching up “so long nerds”, misspelled nerds, and now I’m here. I’m not disappointed.
With a little duck tape and cardboard I managed to keep the micro switch down so I can shoot it without the barrel installed.
6:15 9.0v is like a modified nerf elite blaster😂
The Big Lebowski reference earned my like lol
Great review! And nice background music. I love the look of the Ultra line, but it’s the ammo I’d be forced to use if I buy in. So,… I stay away. If they shot standard darts I’d probably buy them. Oh well.
Love the look of it - HATE EVERYTHING ELSE
Relatable
Nerf: nooo, you have to pay us 50 dollars for a reskin!!
Dart Zone: give us some pocket lint and marbles and we'll give you the best blasters on the market. Why not.
Great review!
First reply
Bread.
Bread.
Okay, that price and the micro-switxh so you NEED that big barrel is kind of a dick move.
I do like the design and ammo for the ultra line. Better than elite but not as strong as rival which allows smaller nerfers to step up to a semi pro grade battle. However the cost of the darts (and blasters in general) is the biggest turn off to the point I'd say just go get a DZP or AVP (Dart Zone pro or Adventure Force pro)
My dog loves retrieving Ultra darts for me. and they are durable in regards to biting. Rival rounds rip in half and typical dart heads pop right off. His teeth don't puncture the Ultra foam, only make a slight depression which, for the most part, doesn't affect performance of either the standard or Accustrike versions.
For a large basement plinker with an energetic dog, Ultra has been a great fit. Amazon has had aggressive sales recently.
What's the hit marking system that you use?
Sorry if that was random, I just appreciate you reviewing things for what they are and telling us what’s the best bang for our buck, [it reminds me of a gun from valorant kinda]
Two videos back to back? You spoil us!
I had 5 videos almost ready last week, but I lost the audio on 4 of them. This was my attempt in between JEBB7 and JEBB LA to get something out while I had a moment. There was 1 more video but I ran into problems with the blaster in the final stretch.
Once I'm back next week things will pick right back up. Thanks for being patient.
Looking forward to the Speed due out later this summer!
The AMP , the MP5
And I made the first talon converted strike today. Vid on my channel. Shots with the barrel on were just wonky
I picked one up for $30 and I like the look of it. I'll do a custom paint job for cosplay. :)
my first reaction to seeing this thing was: Ah yes, Ultra Rapidstrike *giggles*
Awesome shell, half length conversion
Nerf ULTRA catapult. Do it, Hasbro.
If you disregard the price, there is a good chance that this could have been a positive review. The fact that it is pretty good against something like a stryfe, on the battlefield. The only thing that differs is the size.
When will they relies the shotgun blaster for ultra is a option?
I got one for 16 dollars one of the best Nerf deals I ever bought.
I have an idea for an ultra blaster. Basically it is a bullpup electronic blaster with a drum magazine that is compatible with all nerf ultra magazine blasters (instead of the speed)
I think the $50 is in the fancy _ruby red paint_ on the Nerf and Ultra logos /s
Great looking profile though. One to pick up on clearance for sure..
December if 2022, just bought this blaster for $22 and change. Which is A better price tag for this blaster.
@WalcomS7 There is a different Phoenix, the Phoenix C10! I found it at Sam's Club and it was $24 as it came with a ten round mag and the Echo's barrel and stock plus the scope the Phoenix always came with. I wanted to inform you about this since it threw me hecka off.
I have one, I'll post a video soon.
A Microswitch in the barrel so you can't use it without the clip in barrel extension.
That's a new low.
When I saw the barrel I thought you could leave it’s barrel off. Nope. A micro switch disabling the short barrel
I've only bought one Ultra blaster, and it's the Scream Machine. I was between that and the 2, because I love the rear load revolver setup. I went with the Scream Machine because I love the revolver carbine style too much. And even that may be my first ever blaster mod to get put in a new cylinder chambered in other ammo. This blaster seems....fine...But yeah, hard to justify $50 for it. Seems like it's just a larger Focus/Amp. Which is even nice, but it's not worth that.
it looks like a swordfish and now this is all i can see in that blaster
Thank god hasbruh saves us so much money by only painting 1 side.
The price is in that big red shiny logo on the blaster
It looks slick, the selection in my country is very limited.
I actually really like the ultra line. I like how the non battery powered blasters kinda pop when you fire them
The ammo really does have a premium feel too, like your shots should count rather than just running out to spray and play. The Pharaoh is perfect in that regard, and I happen to really like the look.
Man at least they could've just gave us 2 magazines bruh
4:00 (Where’s the 50$ at?)
I think the 50$ is 10 too much (this should be 30$, 40 max) it’s either hasbro being money hungry again or inflated prices
Also walcom I finally bought my first box of 200 dart zone waffle head darts (now I can hit my shots from sniper range 😀) but now the glorious price of 10$ at target is now 15$🤨 (I prefer to buy stuff at target over Walmart and I don’t use Amazon so why at target is it now 15$)
WS7
Very cool looking blaster. Thanks for always having a ton of facts and a ton of enthusiasm. Love your work : )
Yeah, I wouldn’t say that it’s worth $50… but in near new condition with the original mag and a couple of accustrike darts, I’d say the Ultra Strike is worth the $6 I paid for it thrifting today, lol. It’s a decent blaster, and I love the feel of it. Plus I put a little blaster with an N-Strike rail clip on top on that rail Walcom hates to give myself a nice foregrip, lol.
Nerf is the EA of foam flinging
Surprised there still isn’t a traditional pump action mag fed springer
This blaster shoots pretty fast and accurate
It's way different and better than the amp ! th-cam.com/video/kMnd2jlysgA/w-d-xo.html
Hopefully there's a Kuryaka kit for this too.
And the Speed.
The 50 is in the Microswitch for the barrel and the Comfort of the grip.
Hey, balancing the flywheels at all cost like five of those dollars
I like the design of the ultra blaster it would be good to paint
I was waiting for this it may BE the same thing but it LOOKS great-
Like all official nerf blasters the value is stored in the offshore accounts. joking aside I am sure its some where? regardless great video as always :)
6:08 Looks like Walcom has a “bad case of energizer”.
You understand the reference JoltKing627 would.
Can someone pls tell me what happened to the accurstrike series?
3:00 the real video starts after the ad
nearly an 8" spread at that range, that's revolting.
At least you can look through the sight
the nerf community: "there no value"
Hasbro: "yea but you comfy uwu"
it almost feels like they’re budget in ultra is running out.
walcomS7:C'mon were gonna find where the value is
I actually have liked ultra from the beginning except the price
I love walcoms7 nerf videos
Damn another ultra spectrum
Bro this nerf is only 16$ at target right now is it worth grabbing at that ?
Yet again you upload right as im watching your video on the "oh snap"
Perfect timing..almost..too perfect.
Anywho great video love your work
Nerf: The hyper fire fires 5 darts in a second and has a 25 round clip.

For 50$ it should have
Blaster,2 10 round mags, 40 acustrike darts
The Ultra AMP is like $15 on Amazon with Free Shipping, smh.. Only reason to get this is for the magazine. Hopefully Worker can start making Ultra magazines, or someone designs printable ones.
Looking great recently. Its a shame I cant say the same about this blaster
Nerf Ultra 6 waiting to come into existence:
were kan i buy the mega sniper wich runs 180fps
Bro your doing great stuff. Keep up the work and hopefully nerf will pull out of their asses
I got that at target on sale for 30 bucks
Seems like Nerf is kinda going with the "razor & blades" approach with Ultra. Sell you that blaster, then sell you 10 darts for the price of 2 liters of gas.
Bruh
It’s like a *’Budget Worker Swift’* 🤣🤣🤣 You said try to find the $50 within this Nerf ULTRA Blaster and I think I found it in the fps…110 FPS is competitive…and it’s available over-the-counter..it is not a 3D printed special order only online 1 off so if it’s worth it you smhlmao than buy it (I probably won’t…for now…gotta wait for that price to go down) but anyway yea great video..and see you all in an entirely different one 😏
The Nerf Ultra blasters are great for Roleplays.
Just bought a nerf Ultra combo consisting of the Two, Three and Select for $10 CAD. My solution to this problem will to throw away the select but keep the two mags, tape them together jungle clip style and then get this bad boy!😂
Nerf REALLY need to stop putting mag releases inside of the trigger guard. You can literally put it right below the trigger guard and make a way better blaster
