| 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. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

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. ------------- MDP A-5 e-grip Proto switch EL Mask hyperflow 400 47/3000 |

well, they are to very different guns. The A-5 mech. The karni is elctro. Theres no way to compare the two. 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. |

| I see that the karnivore is Nitro only. What kind do you suggest? |

| 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.

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. ------------- WGP orracle cp flame drop MACdev gladiator reg Evil pipe kit 68/5000 tank evlutionII w/zboard A-5 ultralite e-grip w/jcs duel trigger 45/4500 crossfire LPK,cp reg Drop forward |

you guys are crazy, tippmanns are great, i own one, but it cant compare
with a Karni, i've seen three karnis at my field, and no one ever has
problems with them, commit yourself to your cocker, and it will reward
you

| Well, I regret to inform you guys that I have chosen the A-5. Reasons being that I can't get a nitro tank filled around where I live, I don't get the chance to play as much as I would like, A-5's seem more durable, and I can put more upgrades in an A-5. |

Any idea how to upgrade it to full-auto and as accurate as possible? Help with barrels, paint, hoppers, etc... would be nice. Thanks. |

| the A-5 is the only way to go. the A-5 is the best gun i have ever use and used everything from a auto cocker to a boblong. you can pimp the A-5 out so much it aint even funny. if you play woodsball then the A-5 is best gun you can buy. buy the flatline and responce trigger and you will haave the best gun on the field. add a stock to the marker and it will be much more sturdy. so, if you play woodsball and you buy any other gun then the A-5 you would just be a ass wipe!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| if woodsball is your thing, the a-5 is the best woodsball gun you can get. i have versed many people who use angel, dm5, borg and all those flashy speedball guns....speedball guns are exactly that. im not saying that a karnivor woulnt be bad in woods, just saying why pay the extra $700 for a woodsball gun when the a-5 would beat it. of course the reverse is true if your a speedball player feel free to by the karnivore. |

| first of all the Karni is not ful-auto. it is light, fast(has an e-blade), accuret, and comes with good stock parts. the down side u have to take very good care of it its not ur 98. it is high mantnience. i would say if ur going to play speedball get an ion or an imp. if ur going to play woodsball get an ion or a a-5.or keep ur gun. |
