Thats better than I expected. They could have made it a thousand and I reckon people would have still bought it.
You gotta remember - people pay hundreds of dollars for rare skins in video games.

The rare skins in video games probably hold their value better

I would really want to know the reasoning that justifies this excessive price. Damn vanity & marketing...
Certificate...lol.
This is how to waste money for buying nothing, just some marketing idea, just "air"... I've said it before (after purchasing ssx23 & ssg10 for a friend) about Nov's marketing. It is a very sly marketing.

NFT is nothing but a big scam and shame on anyone jumping onto this bandwagon for either being duped or duping people

I think lots of his products are worth it though. The ssx23, imo, is a fantastic gun, especially for the price.

Players are deeply influenced by the power of image(marketing)-videos we' ve all saw these years in Utube by those airsoft players. And followed that "confirmed", proved great shooting path by videos for owing the fields, ONLY if you buy SSGs. They shoot good but not that great as they claim...
Average worth, overpriced and not as good as advertised. There are exaggerations and flaws. At least for ssg10, ssg24 & ssx23 out of the box aren't even close to good tuned-upgraded VSR, Mk23's we've own.
SSX23 noise is advertised at 47dB. 30dB is noise produced when a human whispers, 40dB is the noise in a quiet room-office. I measured it and is around 70dB with the suppressor. This is an example of deliberate exaggeration. I wrote about it to Novritsch & notify them for incorrect consumer information about a product. They did nothing. Novritsch still claims 47dB.
Another example: Indeed ssx23 is shooting great but not out of the box. There are problems that need to be fixed by user (jamming slide, feeding issues, discs foams, jamming trigger, mag issue with mag release blocking). After these fixes the pistol is indeed shooting very good and silently (when bbs aren't trapped inside the discs foams).

I agree with you. I am satisfied with it BUT after I solved the issues...

Thats disingenuous. All it is in this case is a record of ownership - something important for collector items. As the product is marketed as such - and for the younger audience - adding an NFT makes some sense.
Am I advocating anyone go buy crypto? Now is the worst time ever to do so, so obviously not.

You don't need a thing that's effectively the same thing as a scam to do that (and that NFTs are incredibly shit at doing that).
You just give them a big ass physical framed certificate and that's it. This NFT nonsense is literally just jumping on a bandwagon to scam the vulnerable.

I think that it's a poor attempt at being "hip" maybe, could be that sales are dropping and this is a quick 500K for them
Yup, thats exactly what it is.
NFTs makes sense, as a way of proof of ownership of said "collectors item"

Does this mean that if I screenshot his NFT I get a free rifle?????
All jokes aside, in this case, an NFT does make some iota of sense purely as a mark of ownership: that's why they called it a 'digital identification tag' not an NFT. Now, why you would need one I am not sure. I think that @SiliconeSword partially has the right of it:
The kind of people who are liable to buy this rifle (in general I feel) are also the kind who would enjoy bearing an NFT as proof of ownership. Fundamentally, the rifle is just as gimmicky as the NFT.
The real scam here is the rifle I think.

At least I get an (admittedly very overpriced) airsoft BASR out of it, NFT OTOH is just nonsense

he seams to be not shipping the muzzle break to America or not including it
I was under the impression, that the muzzle break was part of the barrel? At the first glance, i thought it was one with the barrel, but under closer look, looks like it can be removed

That's the coolest part of the gun though, shame about that
Well thats bullshit, i feel that the americans are rightfully pissed off, by not getting that muzzle brake.
