Also known as: Noveske N4 Ghetto Blaster, Ghetto Blaster Gen 4
Overview
The Noveske Ghetto Blaster is a premium American AR-15-pattern carbine built on Noveske's Gen 4 platform, typically configured as a short-barreled rifle or PDW with a 7.94-inch (or 10.5-inch) stainless 5.56x45mm NATO barrel and a Q PDW-style collapsing stock. It combines billet 7075-T6 receivers, ambidextrous controls, a Geissele SSA-E trigger, Super Badass charging handle, and an NHR M-LOK handguard into a compact, suppressor-ready package. Part of Noveske's irreverently named 'Ghetto' line, it is prized as a high-end civilian and competition build.

Notes
Sold in multiple barrel lengths (7.94 in, 10.5 in, and 16 in) and as both pistol and SBR/rifle configurations. The short-barrel variants use a pistol-length gas system; the 16-inch model is a standard-length carbine. Often paired with Noveske/Q suppressors.
Background
Noveske's tongue-in-cheek 'Ghetto' product line - the Ghetto Blaster and Ghetto Hammer - grew from an inside joke into a cult following among high-end AR builders. The Ghetto Blaster is one of the few firearms to officially feature Q's PDW recoil/stock system under license.
