One would think that advertising it at 8shots would be more beneficial then skimping on the Darts. It's probably a spring where issue, or something came up in there testing that we don't know that became an issue.
Hasbro Quality Control employee: "Maybe we should test for quality control on this blaster to make sure it doesn't hurt players unexpectedly?" Hasbro Executive: "Nah...we got Drac for that."
Even though Ultra gets a bad reputation, no blaster has been worse than the deploy I personally like Ultra as a series, other than the darts being overpriced
@@thekinection424 The Deploy is hampered by design flaws but it didn't require a proprietary ammo type only it can use or lie about every pretty much everything. Ultra struggles to reach a _third_ of it's claimed range and is less accurate than elite darts, the screamers are even worse.
That's like every shotgun style gun they've made, there's only like 2 that are actually shotguns, using that shell system that you can't even buy seperate from the gun.
The Deploy isn't painful to use, can be reloaded faster, can have a higher capacity and isn't limited to $0.50 darts. Sure, performance sucks but the Deploy beats the Ultra 3 in every other category.
I feel like this could've been a really great blaster, if they had just flipped the design upside down, turned it into a top prime, and moved the trigger to the front. Basically it'd be an Ultra Helios, but with some very high FPS.
My god, i love how smug you are (and you deserve to be) You are THE PENULTIMATE CONTENT CREATOR for nerf (in terms of raw subs). And you are so hard on them for how blandly below average they're being. It's so great
and the versions of the ultra blasters with the extra barrel length have more power than the short barreled versions which are designed for countries with stricter toy laws.
That's some funky B-Rolling. I'm genuinely impressed with 100+fps. I personally love the added finger guillotine feature. That takes effort and planning.
To me, the Ultra line is like how apple is lately. I feel like the Ultra is really just for those kinds of people who just want the price tag and the fancy stuff. Also the way they designed the trigger guard and pump handle reminds me of the Mag 7 shotgun. It had a similar problem as well.
Tip: maybe attatch some sort of soft foam on the magwell and on the one end of the pump grip? This vlaster's ergonomics do not seem very ultra to me at all
The problem with this idea is the lack of space. Adding cushion would definitely solve the issue, if it were that easy. As Drac stated, there is zero space which is causing the pinching. You can't add cushion when there isn't enough space.
Its funny because Hasbro would be making 3x or even 4x the profits if they actually made a quality series, but instead they are digging Nerf's grave while competitors are on the rise.
Great review Drac! I love that you put out honest reviews. I watch some other reviewers and I love the honesty one of the main reasons I follow and support you! Keep up the great work!
I think the ultra line is marketed for kids, the white color will stand out more than the blue or orange and kids doesn't care about performance or accuracy, they just care about how it looks (and to be honest ultra blasters design is really cool). So hasbro is just making a blaster as cool as possible, making it expensive, painted white and add some gold to make it more appealing to kids, and just milk the money out of the children parents
I HAVE AN A IDEA TO MAKE THIS BLASTER USEFUL -step 1 Stick on the end of the Brick/internal magazine an axe shaped thing -step 2 (of your choice) Change triggerguard and pumpgrip -step 3 You have your Brick meets stick/battle axe
Unless you are planning on decreasing the size (or remove) the internal magazine and make it fire regular elite style darts, Don't waste your time modifying this blaster. But that is just my opinion :-)
Drac don't get me wrong I enjoy your content and I appreciate that you are an extremely knowledgeable and experienced figure within the community, but I feel maybe you can become borderline arrogant. I do think other content creators have said exactly the same thing that you claimed you alone are saying as a creator. For example out of darts has heavily criticized them, if your slightly older I would give the ultra roast a watch (extremely funny), and Beret has continually satires the entire line. All I'm saying is maybe don't boldly claim that you are the only content creator willing to critique the line for its money grabbing nature, as I believe the entire hobby has already come to that consensus including other content creators. But otherwise a really great video which I really enjoyed :)
If you want an 8 round internal magazine-fed blaster the Rival Takedown is better in every respect except it can't fire screamers, and it only has one sling point. The screamers didn't come with the off-the-shelf version by the way, you have to buy those separately, but it does include 8 regular Ultra darts. I don't know what Nerf are doing with this series, the first blaster produced in any new line should be an under-primed removable-magazine springer with a stock, but we still don't have that option in the Ultra lineup. Second option should be over-primed removable-magazine springer pistol as a backup. Like the Nexus Pro and Aeon Pro.
Only reasons I can think of for the addee barrel length; 1. It doesn't have a seal, but it might be enough to bump the darts back straight, instead of leaving the barrel practically sideways. 2. Someone told them the orange plate wasn't enough for safety standards, gotta have more of a visible barrel.
Hope your fingers feel better. That legitimately looked painful. The gearing probably made that pull much easier than expected and that much stronger of a hit.
Mod idea: change the standard pump grip to a ambidextrous bolt, like the Helios (I think, you know what I’m talking about) so you won’t crush any fingers!
are your fingers ok? because this battle axe almost cut 2 of em off edit: what do you think the best hammershot style revolver for 1 hand shooting so you can easily dual wield them or is the hammershot still best
Have you ever made a video about the red PDR in the background? If not I think it would be really cool to talk about it because it always catches my eye.
Hey Drac Do you think the Ultra3 would be convertible to Elite darts similar to the Ultra2? Or do you think the horrible ergonomics might make it not worth the time/effort?
Thanks for the review, a mod video would be cool. I was interested in the Ultra 3 and its futuristic looks until I saw your fingers get crushed. I have long arms and fingers, so I would be in the same boat as you. 0:38-0:58 I must be a doofus in your book because I bought two reload packs. I'm starting to see what you mean with the darts being fragile. I'll stick with my Rival Takedown for now.
Drac, just a thought is there anyway to cut down the internal magazine so it is aligned with the main body primarily so you don't keep smashing your hand into the bad area at the end. I mean it would reduce the amount one could load but I don't believe there is not anyway a person could make the ultra three better
I think i have an idea for a side saddle speed loader. It won't fix the inherent flaws of Ultra Darts, but a speed loader is gonna be entirely dependent on how you actually have to load the blaster . . . I'll have to pick one up to test.
Great video, I told my 7 year old son not to ask for any of the ULTRA line blasters and he replied "I don't want them", out of the mouths of babes, keep up the good and HONEST work
I would love to see you turn this disaster into a proper blaster, maybe add some guards, and stops to make sure you don't keep jamming your fingers if it is possible.
Drac if you do a mod guide on this thing, I guarantee you the first thing you'll probably fix is the prime ergonomic so it doesn't bite either of your hands.
Please do a modification guide simply so we can see the internals. I want to know how big the plunger tube is simply to chop of the internal mag and coupler it for an rscb or a simple speed loader.
I love you vids man. If your going to do any non-performance mods you should add a piece of rubber or foam to the back of the mag well. Or you could make it a vertical pump grip.
Digging the design, gonna pick it for christmas. Interested for the mod potential, looks it gonna be a fun to play blaster after remaking the priming handle with 3d print
I think it would be awesome if someone could design a blaster similar to this but the magwell should be like the alpha trooper right in front of the trigger well and pump action could function on a shorter gear with a better pump grip
considering the extra muzzle length, i can see how that extra barrel length would help to counter act fishtailing like with the U4. some U5's have it and seems to make a difference.
I don’t get why most (if not all) of the manual action Ultra blasters have overly complex geared priming system. They don’t seem to shoot harder or faster than regular nerf darts, so it seems unnecessary. Is it just to prevent aftermarket parts and modding?
I'd honestly prefer a bolt slide to the hand-destroying pump grip, which is saying something because I love pump grips. As far as a mod guide, I'd love to see a cosmetic change to fix the grip, but I don't know if that's easily possible. Anyway, I'd watch regardless.

nerf:
ultra 1
ultra 2
ultra 4
ultra 5
ultra 3
I said pin me lol
I think a Drunk person LOL designed it
isn't even worth a mod guide, it's just, awful ergonomics halt it from being good.
Nerf: *markets a blaster dart capacity at 5 knowing full well that it actually holds 8 so they don't have to give you more ammo*
How else are they gonna sell you overpriced reload packs of their overpriced DRM darts for their overpriced DRM blasters?
One would think that advertising it at 8shots would be more beneficial then skimping on the Darts. It's probably a spring where issue, or something came up in there testing that we don't know that became an issue.
I feel like this is also why the advertised and included capacity of the prometheus is also off (By 75 rounds instead of three tho)
@@jackbrown3985 yeah they also did that with the nemesis.
ultra 5 has the same capacity and is more practical smh
Drac tries to give ultra line the finger. ULTRA 3 says,” I will take a finger.”
That just made my day, thanks
69th like. Ultra hates drag as much as he hates it
No, I want TWO
“This is a battle axe”
Me: are you sure all I see is corporate lies
I really thought when he said that there would be a foam axe head on it
I think using it as a Battle might be more efective
Given how using it as a Blaster is more Dangerous to your self
It's a suicide blaster

Its a jolt reskin

“Trigger discipline is overrated. We would rather pay money for other unnecessary safety locks & systems.” ~Hasbro
_Allows you to pinch your fingers when you load darts_
Proper hand and finger placement=Pinched fingers and busted knuckles.
Hasbro: So does that mean you're not buying a reload pack?
There isn't even a trigger safety on this. Considering it's loaded and primed as soon as you're put even one dart in, I find that surprising.
Does anyone even keep the safety on?
"The Deploy is the worst blaster in history!"
Hasbro: Are you sure about that?
Hasbro: "Hold my beer!"
Even though Ultra gets a bad reputation, no blaster has been worse than the deploy
I personally like Ultra as a series, other than the darts being overpriced
@@thekinection424 The Deploy is hampered by design flaws but it didn't require a proprietary ammo type only it can use or lie about every pretty much everything. Ultra struggles to reach a _third_ of it's claimed range and is less accurate than elite darts, the screamers are even worse.
the ultra line only has dope blasters that look cool, not performance
Orca lee the only ultra blaster that even performs “well” is the 4, that’s the only ultra blaster I would even Bother Using
Coming soon: Ultra branded melon baller for more efficient price gouging.
design: looks like a shotgun
what it performs: a single shot with a 5 shot magazine
*my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined*
That's like every shotgun style gun they've made, there's only like 2 that are actually shotguns, using that shell system that you can't even buy seperate from the gun.
@@burntbacn the other shotguns that shoot once can very well be shotguns that use slugs, not all shells shoot multiple.
@AXELERATE but dang I sure wish we got a good rival shotgun
@AXELERATE well true but dang I just want a compact shotgun pistol or something rival has the potential but sadly nothing new yet
Ultra: you can’t defeat me Nerfers: I know, but he can. Drac: Destroys ultra with reviews
The final blow was made with The the nerf ultra reincarnation of thor's axe
Top 5 Friday: Worst Ergo?
You know it
yaaaaay! I have no idea when the last top 5 Friday that sometimes happens on Thursdays or Saturdays was.
Oh my goodness...this is absurd lol. As in...I'd buy almost anything 2nd hand and try to work with it. I wouldn't buy this thing for $1.00.
@Eric VandenAvond At least it's easy to modify
@Eric VandenAvond The elite 2.0 guns use glue. GLUE NOT SCREWS
Now here's the big question: Has nerf finally made a blaster worse than the Deploy?
Deploy: Bigger capacity, better ergo,
Yes they have
The Deploy isn't painful to use, can be reloaded faster, can have a higher capacity and isn't limited to $0.50 darts. Sure, performance sucks but the Deploy beats the Ultra 3 in every other category.
The Deploy wasnt that bad imo.
Even if you have an unusable Deploy, it can be stripped for usable parts. I doubt that this thing can.
@@mazon33 ikr
You brought up a great idea for two Top 5 videos: best/worst ergonomic blasters.
Yes
Double dealer
Drac: releases a review on an ultra blaster
Hasbro: why do I hear boss music?
I feel like this could've been a really great blaster, if they had just flipped the design upside down, turned it into a top prime, and moved the trigger to the front. Basically it'd be an Ultra Helios, but with some very high FPS.
Dang that sounds good!
Hello Drac, nice video! In your opinion, what is the best Nerf blaster to modify? (For durability and reliability)

@@o_sagui6583 The Ultra One is actually decent if you compare it to the Ultra Three, that's how bad this one is...
*vlaster*
Im PRAYING that hyper is at least half decent. Hasbro really needs a win right now.
Feel no need to modify this AS the shell itself makes it basically unusable.
This might be the most scathing review from Drac I've ever seen and it's fully deserved.
At the start of this you explain how nerf slowly just started making cash grab blasters and blaster lines, and how they do anything for money now.
Oh yeah! I forgot to say they even made A NEW AMMA THAT IS HARD TO COPY SO OFF BRAND DART MAKERS CANT REMAKE IT!
Ammo* (you know what I mean)

-step 1
Stick on the end of the Brick/internal magazine an axe shaped thing
-step 2 (of your choice)

So nerf ultra is a scam just like the “use only official nerf darts” which are crap and expensive and off brand is better and cheaper
0:01 We all thought it was a slunted BattleAxe
2:52 I dunno whether I'm laughing at the shotgun primed or seeing Drac 'Ow'
see what i meant in the last review you did
"lets see what crap nerf gives us next" ... yup
Drac: Trigger safety.
Ultra 3: *We don't do that here.*
Pin me plz
I picked up my first nerf gun in over a decade after stumbling on you videos. Thanks for being so enthusiastic I had to give it a go again.
Drac, you're saying you're the only tuber who can speak the truth on Ultra, but I've only seen one NOT talk about the ridiculous amounts of flaws.
"BUT THIS ONE IS, CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS AN "ergonomic nightmare" 😆😅😂🤣 quote by Drac @ 2:20
Only reasons I can think of for the addee barrel length;
1. It doesn't have a seal, but it might be enough to bump the darts back straight, instead of leaving the barrel practically sideways.
2. Someone told them the orange plate wasn't enough for safety standards, gotta have more of a visible barrel.
The extra muzzle on the 3 and 5 is there so you can't catch your finger in the internal mag when you close it.

This is a kind comment.
Great review thanks for giving us the most honest review on the web. Keep up the great work.
Hope your fingers feel better. That legitimately looked painful. The gearing probably made that pull much easier than expected and that much stronger of a hit.
It's like MAG-7. when you pump, it hits your finger if you dont keep your finger on the trigger
Mod idea: change the standard pump grip to a ambidextrous bolt, like the Helios (I think, you know what I’m talking about) so you won’t crush any fingers!
are your fingers ok? because this battle axe almost cut 2 of em off
edit: what do you think the best hammershot style revolver for 1 hand shooting so you can easily dual wield them or is the hammershot still best
Ultra 3: *crunches fingers*
Drac: *plots demise*
Have you ever made a video about the red PDR in the background? If not I think it would be really cool to talk about it because it always catches my eye.
Hey Drac
Do you think the Ultra3 would be convertible to Elite darts similar to the Ultra2? Or do you think the horrible ergonomics might make it not worth the time/effort?
Introducing Hasbro's 'reverse shotgun'. Two inch barrel, fifteen inch pump. Now, that's innovation.
rip dracs finger, it will be missed. last words: "Then you got a seal up here, and when you pri--" 2:48
rip dracs other finger, it will be missed. last words: "Let me put that into perspective for you but first..." 5:21
I liked the slow mo of your finger modding.
Would love to see a modify guide where the U3 is used to split logs like the axe is wants to be.
Thanks for the review, a mod video would be cool.
I was interested in the Ultra 3 and its futuristic looks until I saw your fingers get crushed. I have long arms and fingers, so I would be in the same boat as you.
0:38-0:58 I must be a doofus in your book because I bought two reload packs. I'm starting to see what you mean with the darts being fragile.
I'll stick with my Rival Takedown for now.
Wow this thing works more against the user than the person at the other end of it.
I bought the nerf ultra 2 to ad the elite conversion kit and tested the darts, all of the 6 darts where broken by day 4 with light use.
Drac, just a thought is there anyway to cut down the internal magazine so it is aligned with the main body primarily so you don't keep smashing your hand into the bad area at the end. I mean it would reduce the amount one could load but I don't believe there is not anyway a person could make the ultra three better
I think i have an idea for a side saddle speed loader. It won't fix the inherent flaws of Ultra Darts, but a speed loader is gonna be entirely dependent on how you actually have to load the blaster . . . I'll have to pick one up to test.

I would love to see you turn this disaster into a proper blaster, maybe add some guards, and stops to make sure you don't keep jamming your fingers if it is possible.
Do an ergo mod. Add some dart holders and a finger guard. Maybe a pump handle. Make the best ultra ever!
mod guide tip - stick a blade under the internal magazine and throw it like a tomahawk maybe?
Drac if you do a mod guide on this thing, I guarantee you the first thing you'll probably fix is the prime ergonomic so it doesn't bite either of your hands.
A vertical grip sure seems to make a lot more sense for that cocking mechanism.
Maybe decent internals to mod at least?
This thing was not designed for human hands, which surprises me. Because i thought they canceled the alien menace line in 2017
Thanks for the honest review! Don’t waste your time modding this one, I’d rather watch you mod one I’ll actually buy and use.
Sick revolver spin at the beginning tho
Please do a modification guide simply so we can see the internals. I want to know how big the plunger tube is simply to chop of the internal mag and coupler it for an rscb or a simple speed loader.
I think that a mod guide for this thing would be great! compleatly up to you though. Keep up the great content!
I love you vids man. If your going to do any non-performance mods you should add a piece of rubber or foam to the back of the mag well. Or you could make it a vertical pump grip.
Where do you buy your Nerf shirts, Drac?
Here’s a mod idea. Add a handle sticking out of the pump and chop of the sling attachment that socks out of the integrated clip
Digging the design, gonna pick it for christmas. Interested for the mod potential, looks it gonna be a fun to play blaster after remaking the priming handle with 3d print
This needs a horizontal handle on the pump grip to make it easier to prime, less fingers jammed
Nobody:
Drac: *looks down barrel of blaster*
I think it would be awesome if someone could design a blaster similar to this but the magwell should be like the alpha trooper right in front of the trigger well and pump action could function on a shorter gear with a better pump grip
considering the extra muzzle length, i can see how that extra barrel length would help to counter act fishtailing like with the U4. some U5's have it and seems to make a difference.
I don’t get why most (if not all) of the manual action Ultra blasters have overly complex geared priming system. They don’t seem to shoot harder or faster than regular nerf darts, so it seems unnecessary.
Is it just to prevent aftermarket parts and modding?
I'd honestly prefer a bolt slide to the hand-destroying pump grip, which is saying something because I love pump grips. As far as a mod guide, I'd love to see a cosmetic change to fix the grip, but I don't know if that's easily possible. Anyway, I'd watch regardless.
Will the mod guide be adding a foam blade to the magwell?
I think you should mod it. Glue a foam axe to the front and take out all the internals to make it lighter to swing.
Nerf: Ultra is our best series yet.
Everybody else: What the hell is this? Hmm?
Maybe are Ultra and Elite2.0 like Vortex and GearUp
It's like they went "oh, drac dont like ultra? Fine then, LET'S MAKE THE MOST FRUSTRATING BLASTER EVER CREATED!"
It's called the ultra 3 because that's the number of times you can use it before your hand breaks.
