About the Gun

The Desert Eagle uses a gas-operated mechanism normally found in rifles, as opposed to the short recoil or blow-back designs most commonly seen in semi-automatic pistols. Unlike most pistols, the barrel does not move during firing. The gun is known for its intimidating style and large magnum chamberings. Because of its size, the Desert Eagle is not used in tactical combat. It is too large, has overpowering ammunition and makes an incredibly loud sound, especially indoors.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed in 1988 for the IMI (now IWI) Desert Eagle semi-auto pistol, exclusively marketed by Magnum Research. Just like the pistol, this is a mammoth round and is considered one of the world's most powerful semi-automatic cartridges. This cartridge is almost exclusive to the Desert Eagle semi-auto pistol, although AMT produced the Automag V in this caliber for a while, and now Magnum Research is also marketing a revolver in this caliber.

An absolute meme of a gun that’s two tons of fun. The gas operated rotating bolt system is clunky, heavy, and occasionally finicky, but necessary to cycle .44 and .50 without the action blowing itself apart. Kicks like a mule, gives you an ammo capacity that would’ve only been considered impressive in the 1920s, has the weight of two pistols with the kick of three, did I mention this gun kicks? A lot?! No real world application that can’t be done better by another weapon (want a handgun to drop a bear? .44 Mag revolver. want a handgun to drop a human and several of his/her/their dumbass friends? get a 9mil autoloader and feed it quality hollowpoints. want something you can hide in a purse or suit pocket? this is your gun… NOT!). But the ring of fire from the muzzle, the stupidly loud bang, and the wrist punishing recoil will definitely put a smile on your face at the range, and in a pinch whatever you hit with it will almost certainly be DOA.
