A detailed review of the CGS Noveske N4 gas blowback airsoft rifle in Flat Dark Earth. Mach Sakai starts by mentioning a recent culinary experiment with sukiyaki and udon before diving into the technical specs of the rifle. He notes that the gun feels solid with its metal upper and lower receivers, though the grip is quite thin, making it easy to wrap your fingers around—unless, perhaps, you have the hands of a giant.
During the hands-on testing, the rifle shows off its MWS-compatible engine and a snappy trigger pull that clocks in at a surprisingly heavy weight. The gas efficiency is decent, allowing for about 77 shots on a single fill, which is plenty unless you plan on missing most of your targets. Sakai demonstrates the blowback action, which provides a satisfying kick that keeps things lively, even if the rifle prefers to be kept warm to perform at its best.
In the accuracy and speed tests, the Noveske N4 holds its own, though it occasionally throws a stray shot just to keep the shooter humble. While it might require a bit more warmth than some competitors to stay consistent, the overall build quality and authentic markings make it a good option for enthusiasts.
