Hasbro just unveiled its newest line of Nerf blasters, starting with a singular gun designed to work with a completely revised dart design. It\u2019s called <a href=\"https:\/\/nerf.hasbro.com\/en-us\/ultra\">Nerf Ultra<\/a>, and the singular blaster is called, appropriately enough, the Nerf Ultra One. Hasbro sent us one to try out.<\/p>\n<p>First, we gotta talk about the Nerf Ultra darts. At first glance you might think that they\u2019re minor updates to the Nerf N-Strike darts, like the AccuStrike darts with the corkscrew tips. They\u2019re about the same size and shape as the \u201cregular\u201d Nerf micro darts, but they\u2019re very different in design.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1807099\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone3-625x306.jpg?resize=625%2C306&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone3-625x306.jpg?resize=625%2C306&#038;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone3-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone3-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone3-1024x502.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone3-650x318.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To start, they kind of aren\u2019t really Nerf darts. At least, they aren\u2019t made of Nerf, the \u201cnon-expanding recreational foam\u201d (yes, Nerf is an acronym, and now you learned something!) that has defined everything from the first squishy Nerf ball to Nerf darts and arrows. Nerf Ultra darts are made of a closed-cell foam similar in structure to Styrofoam than other Nerf ammunition, and much firmer.<\/p>\n<p>These are hard, dense little darts, made harder and denser by the completely solid construction. Instead of a hollow cavity in the middle to align the dart against the plunger like in N-Strike darts, Nerf Ultra darts have a small plug that sticks out of the solid, firm dart body. Fortunately, each dart has a hollow rubber tip just like N-Strike darts, so they can\u2019t do much damage (the same can\u2019t be said for Nerf Rival\u2019s small, firm foam balls). It\u2019s a pretty interesting change, and the dense structure with the alignment plug could lead to more consistently accurate shots.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1807102\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone5-625x411.jpg?resize=625%2C411&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone5-625x411.jpg?resize=625%2C411&#038;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone5-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone5.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That brings us to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nerf.hasbro.com\/en-us\/product\/nerf-ultra-one-motorized-blaster-high-capacity-drum-25-official-nerf-ultra-darts-the-farthest-flying-nerf-darts:D65B1AB5-782E-49F7-87BC-32F3D722116D\">Nerf Ultra One<\/a>, the first Nerf Ultra blaster, and a pretty impressive-looking one. Check out this big Nerf assault rifle. It looks like something straight out of <em>Destiny<\/em> or <em>Borderlands<\/em>, with its shoulder stock, foregrip, chunky carbide barrel, and big honkin\u2019 ammunition drum. Hold the lower trigger down until the motor spins up, then pull the upper trigger for semiautomatic action.<\/p>\n<p>Hasbro claims the Ultra One can launch darts up to 120 feet. This is absurdly optimistic for any Nerf blaster, but it can easily cover the distance of our 60-foot-wide lab. The power isn\u2019t surprising after you\u2019ve heard the gun rev up; at full power, the blaster sounds like a freaking chainsaw. It\u2019s surprisingly accurate at about 30 to 40 feet (as long as you keep the motor fully revved), considering the short barrel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1807103\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone2-625x443.jpg?resize=625%2C443&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone2-625x443.jpg?resize=625%2C443&#038;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone2-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone2-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone2-1024x726.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone2-650x461.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/nerfultraone2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an impressive little blaster, even if it isn\u2019t fully automatic like the <a href=\"https:\/\/nerf.hasbro.com\/en-us\/product\/nerf-elite-titan-cs-50-toy-blaster:91F8A4F5-9BA7-48C6-886E-AF3F2D36C880\">Nerf Elite Titan<\/a>. Which is forgivable, since the Ultra One is just $50 and the Titan is twice as expensive at $100. You\u2019re comparing an assault rifle to a minigun. In fact, it\u2019s pretty reasonably priced as a \u201cbig\u201d Nerf gun.<\/p>\n<p>This new, harder Nerf Ultra dart is pretty intriguing, and the Ultra One is a good first blaster to show it off. I\u2019m excited to see if Hasbro will make an accurate Nerf Ultra pistol or rifle, now that they released their first flagship blaster for this line. You can pick up the Nerf Ultra One for $49.99 at Amazon, Target, Wal-Mart, and other major retailers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nerf.hasbro.com\/en-us\/product\/nerf-ultra-one-motorized-blaster-high-capacity-drum-25-official-nerf-ultra-darts-the-farthest-flying-nerf-darts:D65B1AB5-782E-49F7-87BC-32F3D722116D\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1705462 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/SEE_IT_HERE_GEEK-1.jpg?resize=178%2C51&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"51\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/geek-pick-nerf-ultra.png\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\"><\/figure>\n<p>It&rsquo;s new Nerf time!
