Karnivore?

[Chris42050]

I got a refund check from the IRS for $1200 bucks and I was thinkin about getting one of those new autococker karnivore's. My friend just got one free. Dont ask me how. The gun is awesome. I especially like the magnet trigger it has, clamping feedneck, different bore size barrels. I think the eyes are not break beam tho. I know this is a Mag forum but I know you guys will give me an unbiased opinion of the gun. Basically i just want to know what you guys think of the gun and if you know anything about the eyes on it. I am going to try it out this weekend if I can pry it out of my friends hands for a game or 2. Give me your 2 cents.

its a cocker.

Wow are you always so helpful.

They look like awesome markers. I dont really have much experience with cockers, but what I have heard and seen, they are awesome. If you got the cash, pick one up. I would get one, but I have my heart set on a DM4.

In my opinion the carnivore is not the best cocker out there but i think that it has the most bang for buck.

A friend of mine got one last week and I got to put it through its paces this weekend. Now Iam generally an ardent supporter of the anti-cocker leauge but the Karnivor impressed me. Its light and comfortable when I first tried it he had a revy on it. I could out shoot the revy easily but the eye worked no chops. I put my Halo on it and it never skipped a beat. I dont think you would go wrong with one. But in this price range there are a million killer choices... my 2 cents.

Which one do you think is better?

its a very nice gun, no doubt. Very fast, and it doenst seem to bounce so badly. However, i think if youre gonna spend that kind of money on a cocker, i would get a freeflow eblade. We practice with Rhythm, and their eblades are amazing. Ive never shot faster or smoother cockers, ever. And if you buy a freeflow, you get a sweet warrenty, and theyre made to your order.

edit: for 1300 you can get an alias timmy. Faster and lighter than any cocker. Check that out, unless you want to stick with a cocker.

if I had the money to spend, I would be getting the karni, but PBX (Paintballistix) is hopefully putting it's new cocker out into the selling wars sometime this fall, So I am going to save my money for that.


P.S. I had the opportunity this weekend to shoot an ICD Freestyle, I relly recommend you to at least try it out, it was by far the best feeling marker I have ever shot.

Does the freeflow have the same trigger?

[Torbo]

the freeflows usually have a standard eblade trigger, however, since theyre custom built youi can get a samuri trigger for it. The samuri is lighter and thinner, it shoots alot like the karni trigger, imo.

Karnis are great, but if you've got your heart set on a cocker, go for a nexus... slightly better.

Thanks guys for the help. After the first post I thot this thread might be useless. I have never been a cocker person until this last year. My friends all have cockers now come to think of it. I just really liked the extra barrels the karnivore came with. Mostly i fell in love with the trigger. I suck at shooting fast. With my angel lcd I get like 10 balls a second. With his karnivore I was ripping. I am looking for a gun that has a killer trigger cuz I suck at shooting fast.

Edit: Do you guys know if the Karnivore has break beam eyes?

[Acer12]

I love cockers i have an e-blade. But i really don't like the karnivore. i would say get an
orracle or something like that. and as for the trigger get an e-blade and and buy a samari trigger. they are sick i just got one and my gun rips. but if you really want one get its a cocker you can't go wrong. my two cents.

[Torbo]

the karni has a reflective eye, like all eblades.
