Thunder Punisher Leo.

The magnums will ignore the shield, so its first few volleys of the thunder will be utterly wasted, and its magazine spent by the time the shield goes down. During those critical first seconds only the mags will be doing any damage, letting the Carngae quickly close in and do maximum damage to you.

Punisher Leo does all its damage to the shield first, and does it very effieciently, bringing it down in two seconds flat, long before the Thunder has spent its ammo. Even if the Carnage gets the drop on you and wins,chances are it will not be in any shape to continue after the exchange.

A nice bonus, if you are not alone, then bringing down its shield quickly lets your comrades without energy weapins damage it more easily. This applies to Ancilots as well. While a Puneo might not be able to win by itself, it can strip the shield with blinding speed, giving others a chance to flank or hit it with rockets.
