    Posted: 21 April 2005 at 4:29pm
Hey guys been a while since my last post. I started paintball a year or 2 ago and I have a Tippmann 98C with a flatline. I felt that I was going to upgrade to a better gun. I want a full-auto marker that is lightweight, low maintenance, and accuracy. I'm not worried about the price tag too much but I don't want a DM5. So A5 or KARNIVOR? Thanks in advance!

The Karni is out of the A-5's league... So I'm gonna say get the Karni by far.

ok you dont want a DM5 but your willing to spend almost the same amount for a Karni, What kind of paintball do you play beacuse I love to nail all the speedball players with the bright flashy guns who like to play woods ball, If you play woods and speedball go with the A-5 e-grip.

Karni, even though i dont like cockers.

Not sure about the full-auto or maintenance, but the cocker certainly has the accuracy and weight in it's advantage.

the karni will own but whats the point of having a gun that you can't really get ups on.  And be serious, who wants a gun that just is bleh perfect.  Not to mention the repair costs and things if you kill  a part will be unbelievably high and nitro tanks arent exactly cheap.  Unless youre just one of those rich kids....besides if you want a WGP gun then why be on the tippmann forum...seriously dude go for the a5

karnivore vs a a-5 are you dead serious...karnivore blows the a-5 so far out of the water..with upgrades the karnivore can be one of the best guns made
98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

The higher end guns can play in the rain, the only problem is water in the porting.

if ur gonna spend 1000 or so on a gun alone then get a fast hopper, better barrel, and good tank... that's crazy when you could pimp the shiite muslim out of an a-5 for about 1000 and it'll shoot close to as good. hahah sorry i just love the feel of the a-5 all pimped out. my friends have angels and cockers and if they offered the trade, i would say, "no, thank you. i'll keep my a-5." the total cost of the cocker would be closer to 1500 or something.
