The G-4B is an air superiority fighter designed in 1953.
Development History
Made to fulfill the role of a fighter. The G-4 was designed to be lightweight. Being able to take 8.5Gs in turn, but strictly being an air superiority fighter means that carrying any payload or even fuel tanks resulted in decreased performance. It was fitted with a 4×20mm cannons mounted on the nose with the fire rate doubled the ones in the G-9 Cougar.
It's better than the G-9 in some air to air aspects such as maneouverbility, speed and agility but no payload option makes it useless against any ground targets.
Production starts in June of 1954 with the first batch of 500 aircraft being delivered.

@ThomasRoderick I understand now
@Adilan
Well, yesterday you uploaded that not! F9F Panther of yours, so it's pretty clear in whichever AU your world's in, the "G" prefix means "fighter jet". "FJ-4B" was the U.S. Navy designation for their variant of the F-86 Sabrejet, and that specific model carried 4 20mm guns with an ROF at 1000 shots/min each. The guns mounted on the F9F Panther/Cougar (the IRL F9F Cougar was the swept-wing version of the Panther) was the AN/M3 20mm, which had an ROF at 750 shots/min, while the M39 Cannon carried by F-86F-2 and F-86H variants have an ROF at 1500 shots/min. The Navy never had a Sabre/Fury variant with M39 cannons though, but this being your AU so nitty-gritty details like that would be easily forgiven.
@ThomasRoderick please explain more to me on what do you really mean
Yup, the not! F-86 Sabre, the quartet of quick-firing 20-mils is a dead giveaway.
