EMG Noveske N4 10.5" Gen.3 Shorty .300 BLK AEG Rifle

If you are into your modern AR platforms, the EMG Noveske N4 10.5" Gen.3 Shorty should get you going! This M4/AR-15 AEG boasts full metal construction, official licencing from Noveske via EMG and the awesome CYMA Platinum E-Edition internals to get the job done down range. Noveske trademarks are prolific on this AEG, just like the real deal, and even the body pins are engraved with the Noveske logo. Noveske fans will love this one!

Inside you will find a reinforced version 2 gearbox kitted out with a vast number of pre-upgraded parts including a high-speed motor, CNC steel 13:1 ratio high-speed gearset and the CYMA Platinum MOSFET to keep it all in check and allow the use of 11.1V LiPo batteries. The N4 Shorty is also packing a 6.03mm tightbore with an alloy rotary HOP-up unit, giving it considerably more range and accuracy than one might expect from a compact 10.5" barreled setup. 

Starting at the front, we can find a three-prong SF-style flash hider, giving the N4 Shorty a dynamic and modern look. Give the flash hider a tap and listen to that ring...that's how we know it's made from steel! While the three-prong looks fantastic on the N4, the barrel features 14mm CCW male threading so you can add an alternative muzzle device of your choice, including tracer units and suppressors. 

The barrel is finished in matt silver, matching the real N4 series of rifles and giving the AEG a bit of tasteful flare while not being too garish or ruining your concealment efforts in a woodland skirmish. The silver of the barrel is visible through the handguard's ports, along with the dummy gas block and gas tube which is the correct length for the real steel N4 Shorty platform. This shows CYMA and EMG pay attention to the details, and we love that!

The handguard itself is a replica of the real steel Noveske NSR 9, equipped with M-LOK negative space attachment slots at the 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions with a 20mm Picatinny rail along the top. The M-LOK slots are punctuated by the recognisable NSR style ports, reducing overall weight and adding to the gripping qualities of the handguard when run slick without rail covers. Being an EMG-licenced replica, the handguard sports Noveske trademarks at the base, reading "NSR-9" with "NOVESKE.COM" and has additional laser engraved markings on the underside reading "FOR AIRSOFT USE ONLY" and "EMG TRAINING SYSTEM". 

 As we reach the receiver we can take note of the familiar and well-placed M4/AR-15 controls, though the receiver itself is a little different to the standard AR. The upper receiver is patterned after the Noveske Gen.3 upper receiver, matching the real thing perfectly with all the correct angles and shapes, a prominent "NOVESKE" engraving on the left side, a Noveske logo on the forward assist and a reprofiled mock forward assist and brass deflector bulge, intended to reduce snagging potential. The lower receiver is a standard M4/AR-15 receiver but with Noveske markings on the magazine well, body pins, and just aft of the mock bolt catch. Just below the Noveske trademarks on the magwell, you will find your unique serial number laser engraved. 

The fire selector switch is right where we would expect it; on the left side of the receiver, just above the pistol grip. Offering 3 modes of fire with a 90-degree throw between each, the selector is one of the highlights of the AR platform; secure enough to avoid inadvertent mode changes but fast enough to play "sights off, safety off". The available firemodes are SAFE, SEMI and AUTO, marked with engravings in classic M4/AR-15 style. 

The magazine release catch can be found on the right side of the magazine well, lying well within reach of the trigger finger for super slick and easy fast reloads. The mag release is a push-button design and can be replaced with an aftermarket ambidextrous magazine release if required. On the left side of the receiver, we can find the mock bolt catch, taking the form of the classic M4/AR-15 "ping pong paddle". This catch allows you to release the mock bolt carrier following HOP-up adjustment with a satisfying "clank". 

At the top rear of the receiver, we can find the ambidextrous charging handle, allowing left or right-handed shooters easy and fast access to the HOP-up unit for quick mid-game adjustments. With the charging handle pulled the mock bolt carrier will retract and the dust cover will spring open, revealing the alloy rotary HOP-up unit inside the ejection port. The HOP-up allows you to tune the N4 Shorty for different ammo weights and extend your range, looking for the flattest possible trajectory. Being constructed from alloy means this unit will never break, and being the latest rotary design guarantees a wide range of adjustments and greater ability to hold its setting under the vibrations of full auto fire. 

The charging handle also proudly displays a Noveske logo and marking which is visible when the charging handle is pulled back, adding to the realism of the N4 and matching the real thing to a tee. On the mock bolt carrier we have yet another Noveske logo, and there are many more to come! The mock dust cover also has very clear .300 BLK markings on both the inside and out, a feature derived from the real thing and intended to avoid the potential of accidentally loading a 5.56mm cartridge into the rifle. The consequences of this would be disastrous, but lucky for us our AEGs only shoot 6mm!

The trigger guard is enlarged to allow for full-fingered glove use and boasts a Noveske logo on the bottom, bringing it into line with the rest of the N4 Shorty. To match the real thing, an ergonomic Noveske grip is fitted with a refined grip angle intended to reduce wrist fatigue when shooting with the stock fully collapsed. The grip has a filled-out back strap and linear texture on the front and rear, giving ample grip for wet weather operations and a super comfy grip you will never need to change. There is even a Noveske logo on the baseplate, in case you forgot who is behind this gorgeous design! 

Bringing up the rear we have the good old M4/AR-15 buffer tube, featuring a steel castle nut and a steel QD sling plate. The QD sling plate allows single-point slings to be mounted using a QD sling swivel and is centrally placed for ambidextrous functionality. The buffer tube itself allows for 6 positions of adjustment, allowing you to set the stock in the perfect place to suit your body type and loadout.

The pre-installed stock is a modern snag-reducing design with a low-profile adjustment lever, guaranteeing it will never get caught on your sling or gear and inhibit your movement. The adjustment lever requires a simple press on the section closest to the receiver to adjust the stock. The cheekpiece is sloped similarly to the crane stock, giving you a nice large battery compartment and a comfortable cheek weld when aiming. Also present on the stock is a pair of QD sling sockets, one on either side, giving you the option to add an aftermarket front sling point and a QD sling swivel to run a two-point sling. The butt plate is constructed from rubber and has deep serrations on its surface for optimal grip, whether you run a light and fast loadout or a bulky and hefty plate carrier.

Accessing the battery compartment is really, really easy thanks to the hinged butt plate of the stock. All you need to do is push the button on the butt plate down, after which the butt plate will hinge open, revealing the battery compartment and the Deans/T-plug battery connector within. We recommend an 11.1V 1450mAh LiPo battery in nunchuck/crane configuration for the N4 Shorty but you can also use buffer tube style stick batteries if you prefer. 

While the outside looks fantastic, inside the N4 Shorty is where the magic really happens. The astonishing rate of fire and trigger response of this platform is down to the CYMA Platinum E-Edition internals, primarily its CNC machined steel 13:1 high-speed gearset, MOSFET and high-speed motor. The gearbox shell is also reinforced in all the key places for a long lifespan, and inside you will find 8mm ball bearing bushings, a CNC machined aluminium silent piston head and cylinder head set, a polycarbonate piston with a full rack of steel teeth and a ball bearing quick change spring guide. It is no wonder this thing absolutely shreds, there is little left to upgrade!

Whether you are a die-hard Noveske fan or you are after a compact AR platform with truly terrifying performance, you will be hard-pressed to find something better than this. The N4 Shorty pairs full metal construction with 100% faithful parts and markings fully licensed by Noveseke with CYMA's ever-improving Platinum E-Edition internals for an eye-catchingly gorgeous exterior look and performance that will make the enemy team run the other way!
