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!

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. Interestingly, the ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, and SEVEN are known to physically exist, but not the SIX.The guts of the blaster can come out all at once, which will make rewiring a breeze. Whereas a Rapidstrike (or Turbine, for that matter) have the pusher gears in a discrete unit, the pusher motor, switches, and various gears are all contained in the general clamshell of guts here. 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 This is where things get interesting. It’s the setup you’d expect from a Rapidstrike (scotch yoke pusher, three switch setup), but with extra bits attached, and a main PCB controlling everything. The carry handle is nice, though I suspect it serves to also strengthen the shell (a magazine carriage instead of a single magazine well means less support for the blaster shell itself). There are also multiple sling points, and a solitary tactical rail on top. The large barrel is aggressive looking, and wide enough to not interfere with dart flight. Overall it’s a fun blaster to handle, despite the design issues inherent with the Ultra line. Performance

Sorrentio, M. (2019-09-23). Nerf's new Ultra blasters have darts that fly farther than ever (Article). CNET. Archived from the original on 2019-09-23. Retrieved on 2019-09-23.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. There have been reports online that ULTRA Darts suffer from significant wear and tear around the dart head. [ 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]
