Sure, still use it.
Not as much as "before" the Paladin.

Actually like it on Asari Commando and/or Justicar.

Not since I got a decent enough level on my paladin.

Yeah, starting about about IV, my Paladin was better, and I've been sticking with it ever since.

[Edorian27]

One of my favorite pistols, I prefer it over the Paladin.

Almost all pistols got multiple buffs, to the point of OP, cos they sucked at the beginning (Arc, Eagle and so on)

Carnifex was the only pistol that hit the sweet spot between rarity, accuracy, ammo, weight and power. It was ideal for casters, but not too great. So Biower has said - let's nerf it and buff the other ones like the Talon and Arc to be stupid powerful and make the Carnifex look laughable in comparison.

Could not have said it better.

[Khayman462]

It's one of my favorite weapons. I mostly use it on the huntress, drell adept, and justicar

[ToaOrka]

Sorry, but the Paladin completely outclasses it
ever since they had the same weight.

^ This.

I remember when I was first starting and couldn't get any decent weapons to unlock.  The Carnifex was my best friend.  I used it on seemingly every class for what seemed like forever.  Fortunately, I unlocked some better options before Bioware hit it with the nerf hammer because too many people were using it.

100% agree. I have fond memories of using The Carnifex over the first few months of playing it was the best weapon I had for both range and damage.

I also think it's funny that you can make a head shot across the map with a pistol, but I am not going to complain.

It was great in the beginning because none of us had anything comparable in its category aside from the Arc Pistol (which was a total hipster weapon back then). With all UR pistols maxed (and the addition of the Executioner and Suppressor), there's just no reason to use it other than challenge points or for lulz. It's not bad, but it's completely outclassed by at least half a dozen options in a maxed or near-maxed manifest, and that's not even counting several SMGs that punch better for similar weight.

I did my first gold solo using that gun, it was the best weapon I had at the time. I still break it out and revisit that solo from time to time.

I use it on the Asari Adept.

[MtOMajorCat0311]

The random store gods have granted me a Carnifex X, not my favorite but there is no doubt it is powerful as a sidearm. I use it on casters as an "Oh Sh*t" weapon with extended barrel and piercing mod.

[D-Rock0713]

I loved it when I was starting out on Silver, even dubbed it as "Carni-FLEXing" because you could just go headshotting in beast-mode. but as I became more experienced and moved on to Gold, I found myself using the Talon more

[Salarian Jesus]

Never liked it.

Yup. I used the Carnifex often as a lighter alternative to the Paladin on my casters, but after that change there was little point. More damage is superior to a few more shots per clip, especially on a caster where the ideal is to fire powers, not shoot your full clip. 

[corporal doody]

weapon of choice on the Asari Adept (vanilla). For Ol' Times, All the Time!!

[Appelknaller]

Carnifex, the bane of all synthetic lifeforms.

Nope. I've got a M-358 Talon X now.

Everytime I do the pistol challenge... I dread using it. It's a freakin awful gun IMO...

Hahaha same here, this is why I've completed pistol mastery only once!

So what is actually the difference between the carnifex and the paladin? I know that the carnifex has more rounds in the magazine, but are there any other major differences?

[Max Dmian]

Predator is better.

The paladin does significantly more damage per shot. It's an excellent gun on kits with stasis  (for headshoting while staying light).

I prefer the Paladin and the Eagle.

But with this said the Carnifex was awesome in Mass Effect 2.

Fun trivia about the Carnifex:

º Carnifex means "butcher" in Latin - literally, "a maker of meat". Due to the tendency to employ butchers as public executioners, the word carnifex shifted from its original meaning and came to mean both a butcher and an executioner.

º The appearance is based on the alternate pistol in Mass Effect.

º The pistol has "Magnus" (Latin for "great") written on its side. This is a possible reference to highly powerful 'magnum' cartridges, which are enlarged versions of other existing cartridges, and possess immense stopping power.

º The M-77 Paladin and M-11 Suppressor are variants of the Carnifex.

º During Mass Effect 3, in the course of unsuccessfully trying to persuade Mordin Solus to sabotage the genophage cure, the Commander threatens him with a Carnifex, the same weapon Mordin offered Shepard as a sign of goodwill in Mass Effect 2.
