Red Text
Feel like I'm gonna break this damn thing!
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
Despite its small appearance, this Order-made pistol fires a radial shockwave (sonic wave). It is an homage weapon to the ultra‑compact, ultra‑recoil gun “Noisy Cricket” given to Agent J in the movie Men in Black. A short‑range explosive pistol that feels great when it hits.
🧩 Source of the red text The source is the Noisy Cricket from the 1997 movie Men in Black (Borderlands Wiki / GameRant). In the film, Agent J (Will Smith) is first given this palm‑sized gun, which despite its appearance has tremendous destructive power and recoil. In the scene where K (Tommy Lee Jones) notices the barrel’s direction and grabs J’s arm to deflect it, J says “Feel like I’m gonna break this damn thing…!” (confirmed from the original script and a direct quote). The BL4 red text adopts this line almost verbatim.
