Rifle

The rifle is a weapon that appears in Carnivores 2, Carnivores Ice Age, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD. It is a fairly balanced weapon, with a decent rate of fire, reasonable range, and good stopping power, making it ideal for taking out charging carnivores.

Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD/Reborn
In Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn, the rifle (officially called a high-caliber rifle) is the first weapon available for use. It costs nothing, and is a very effective starting weapon. The rifle is bolt-action, and can fire off 3 bullets before it has to reload. It has average damage, average range, and averagely loud.

Trivia

 * Carnivores Cityscape features a fully-automatic assault rifle instead of a hunting rifle.
 * In Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, the rifle's firing sound is swapped with that of the sniper rifle. However, as of recent it uses its original firing sound, and now shares it with the sniper rifle.
 * The rifle is one of the three weapons in the Carnivores series with a reloading animation. The other two are the pistol and the shotgun.
 * The rifle shares a nearly identical reload animation with the shotgun.
 * In Carnivores Ice Age, the rifle has a wooden stock.
 * In Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn, there is an engraving on the back-left side of the rifle, which is best viewed while sprinting. It reads "C1-Dinoslayer Limited Edition". It also features an engraving just below the iron sights which reads "RPTR II-23". The real name of the rifle is not stated, but the look and stats confirm that it is a modern hunting rifle chambered in 9.3x 63 Mauser, which is powerful but not the greatest caliber / cartridge for very long range.
 * The latest version of Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter increased the amount of ammunition given with the rifle to 16 as opposed to the previous 14. The reload animation for the rifle has also returned, but is only seen if all 16 rounds are expended and a supply drop is collected.
