what do you guys think of the karnivore ? its the only cocker that i like and i was thinking when i start making money i might get one, and use my tac one for woodsball, i watched some videos and i think they are friggen sweet, just wanted your opinions , thanks

[Soopa Villain17]

it will be a while before i can even think about buying one so hopefull they will make some improvments on it buy the time i get money , i just hope they stop making them, it always happens to me , when i see a marker i like i dont have the money and when i get the money they s top making them, it happend to me with the em1, the 2002 shocker i think and a few other ones , hopefully they will still have this one around summer time

[Soopa Villain17]

do you guys think the karni is made in taiwan like some of the others if so ill be sad, i dont like the idea of stuff made in taiwan being so damn expensive

[Flow_Tech]

yes,most all cockers are made by kids who get 5 cents a day for putting it together(JUST KIDDINGGG!)but karnivores are TOP NOTCH guns..if you like them,you can also stick with the Eblade 1 and get the Zero B board which is the board found in E2's and get the break beam eyes.

[magsRus]

I own a Karnivor and I couldnt be happier, accept for one thing. When you get the Gun they come with an aluminium pump arm which is extremely stupid because it actually comes unthread and stripped when you start to shoot really fast. But just go out and buy a 20 dollar SS pump arm

on there website it says titanium rod , but i like them they are real nice bu not for 1300 dollars thats outrages

[Soopa Villain17]

I'm not up on current prices, but if they are 1300, forget that, you can put together a smaller, lighter (and IMO, better) cocker for about $800-900

[Soopa Villain17]

i found em for 950 :dance:

I just thought I'd clairify... things made in Taiwan aren't bad by a long shot. China, that's another story.

Arent they, like, 950 on action villiage? www.paintballgear.com (http://www.paintballgear.com)

[mark_1791]

oh nvm just checked theyre 1050. still, its a lot cheaper than 1300.

[minimag03]

I like them, They would be my first choice over a Merlin.

[Boski51]

I had one and it was a great marker. Eats batteries big time....a battery a weekend. great marker, but you can gets lots better for a few hundred more. Look at the EGO.

Where can you get a ZERO B board?

[Soopa Villain17]

the karni is the only electro i really like , all the others are ugly as hell , but thats my opinion

[Automaggot68]

Only complaint would be that it only comes with a reflective eye system and it has a tiny double trigger.A prefer a larger blade style trigger...so I made one ;) .Eventually it will get break beam eyes if I stick an E2 in it.If you can, try an find a "pro" , the matching Kaner kit is a nice plus.


Another one of my gripes is, I dont think there should be that many external moving parts on a marker firing that fast. I'm too paranoid.

[Mr. Mouse]

make sure the backblock isnt close to the body or the pump rod will snap off, ive seen it happen, but other then that go for it, i like the blac/yellow one

they are like 185 with trade in at planet eclipse.

[Soopa Villain17]

whats the difference between the new eblade and the old one ?

[NukeGoose]

new eblade has better antibounce software, longer battery life, and supports breakbeam eyes

The Karnivore is a top-notch autococker that's frankly not worth the money.

then frankly what is worth the money to you?

[NukeGoose]

Not much, to be honest. Dye Matrices (DM3 style) are good deals, Freestyles shoot great for the price, and ICD's 05 lineup is looking to be pretty good. I just feel that its a huge disadvantage for any tournament level gun to have almost uncurable bounce, as well as a backblock that has a tendancy to smack me in the lens. The E2 frame will get rid of the bounce issues but was not available when I used a Karnivore. I'm not a big fan of a magnetic trigger although that's personal preference. The Karni is light, but it just didn't feel very solid - I've never felt comfortable playing balls out with Cockers because of all the delicates up front, and the Karni is even slimmer and more milled than any others that I've used. On the plus side it did look very good. I just didn't feel it felt significantly better or was significantly faster to justify its price over any other ebladed cocker, unless you're buying based on looks.

That was my biggest gripe with e-cockers. I loved them and all, but they had some undeniable downfalls. It looks like the e2 fixes alot of em though.

[NukeGoose]

Yep, but at $449 from Paintballgear for an E2, you could get an entirely new gun or make a hefty downpayment on one, and still have your Cocker for a backup.

[Soopa Villain17]

i still want one they are beutifull

[SpecialBlend2786]
