The Ultra dart-only mechanism here is combined with the pusher, and makes the master PCB necessary. If an Ultra dart doesn’t depress the safety, a plastic tab will slide into place, physically impeding pusher movement. If that was the only thing here, that would destroy the gears as the pusher fought against it. HOWEVER, there’s also a switch that ceases to be depressed when this happens. When that signal gets cut, the pusher motor is put into reverse, retracting the pusher instead of continuing the initial motion. Once the pusher position switch is engaged, the mechanism shuts off and resets, waiting for the next trigger depression to start things over again.
Overall it’s a fun blaster to handle, despite the design issues inherent with the Ultra line.

[ citation needed] Unlike most darts, ULTRA dart heads are not mechanically anchored to the foam body of the dart. The heads are simply dome shaped caps that are glued onto the shaft, where the head meets the body. 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. [ citation needed] Finally, there’s an interesting artifact from product development. Namely, there’s a slot for a jam door switch, but the switch itself isn’t there. Seeing as Ultra blasters have mechanisms to prevent firing non-Ultra darts and objects, I assume that provision was made for an extra switch until the pusher mechanism safety was proven. 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. Beyond the dual magazine setup and the new darts, the Select is also a full-auto blaster. Yep, we have a new “rifle” to play with!
The issue now, however, is whether it’s too late for blaster fans to care. Ultra magazines aren’t something we’ve seen in stores, aside from select hobby shops, so the effectiveness of the Select in a loadout is questionable (unless you’re a weird person like me). The new darts work far better, but buying them separately has yet to be confirmed. To that end, a new entry has come along, appearing on some Walmart shelves without warning. It’s odd – Ultra released with lots of fanfare, but initially failed to live up to the PR promises. Now, the Ultra Select is silently releasing, but (within reason) meeting those expectations, two years later. Interestingly, the ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, and SEVEN are known to physically exist, but not the SIX.AccuStrike Dart • Elite Dart • Elite 2.0 Dart • Fortnite Dart • GlowStrike Dart • Mega Dart ( AccuStrike • Fortnite) • Mega XL Dart • Sonic Screamer Dart • Star Wars Dart • Suction Dart • ULTRA Dart ( AccuStrike) • Zombie Strike Dart
