Discussion

As you can see, I have replaced ManiacallyChallenged'south Photoshopped Desert Eagle with what I believe to take been the exact same Desert Eagle that inspired the texture artists and 3D modelers who worked on Max Payne two. This one belongs to Rick Washburn'southward Weapons Specialists, Ltd. in New York and was originally used in The Sopranos. -MT2008

Re-organization

Alright, I just did a major revamp on this page. There are still quite a few movies and Telly shows where I wasn't able to tell what Eagle model appears, and I didn't fifty-fifty try with the video games yet. Anyone want to assist out some more than? -MT2008 20:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Question

I accept a quick question. Does the DE fire .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum rounds originally made for revolvers or automatic rimmless .357 DE and .44 DE rounds? - Gunmaster45

Information technology fires actual rimmed ammo, one reason it tends to be unreliable. Currently nobody produces rimless, also bad as I always thought semiauto carbines in rimless magnums would be effective.

k9870

You can buy special .44 Magnum ammo for the Desert Eagle. I went with my father to purchase ammo one time and we just grabbed a box of .44's for our Ruger and they ended up being for the Desert Eagle. They worked just as well equally normal rounds though-Southward&Wshooter

Next to 'Telephone call of Duty four' in the listing of games this gun appears in, someone left this comment:

Obviously, Call of Duty iv is the source of gaming popularity of the gun and the word "Deagle"

No, that would be Counter-Strike. Phone call of Duty 4 was only released in 2007, and both the gun and the nickname "Deagle" have been popular in the mainstream gaming earth for much longer than that. --MattyDienhoff 11:06, 9 Baronial 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if that'due south truthful because It is called a "Deagle" in Hitman two and that came out quite a few years ago(effectually 2000)

Would any of the armament that the desert Eagle piercing torso armor?

Information technology would depend on what ammunition and what level of trunk armor is in question. Level 1 armor is simply designed to finish rounds up to .380 ACP, level 2A up to .40S&W, level two up to .357 Magnum, and level 3A upwardly to .44 Magnum. Any level Higher than that is intended to stop rifle rounds and would most likely finish all Desert Eagle rounds. -Anonymous

Pump Shotty Justice-That's interesting.

could the .50 AE round finish a automobile engine? Rex095

There are alot of variables to consider there. What component of the engine was striking? from what distance did it hit? what part of the car did the round have to penetrate to reach the engine? Its hard to say definitively, that may exist a amend a question for the Mythbusters. -Anonymous

Not to mention the load/ bullet type being used. As a general rule I'd say no. The only ii mutual pistol rounds I know of that have a chance are the .454 Casull, .460 South&W and the .500 South&W. Only even those would crave FMJ or penetrator-core ammo. BUT even if the circular penetrates the block (lets use that as an instance), information technology would take longer than you lot take been lead to believe in movies. For a vehicle to exist stopped by a bullet like in a movie you would take to use something like .l BMG and/ or destroy many critical components in one shot. As an instance I had a friend who owned a Geo Metro, the block was croaky and we removed ii pistons to see if it would even so run, it ran; non for long but we estimated it at near 5 miles. -Ranger01

Action

I feel impaired for asking this but is the Desert Eagle single action? -Anonymous

Yes it is. --Predator20 22:33, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Uh No, its Double Activity

It'due south single action not certain why it was listed on the page every bit double/single. (I changed the page, also non certain why information technology listed equally a gas operated trigger either I have no idea what that ways) The hammer must exist dorsum in order to fire. The Mark VII and XIX have an adjustable trigger simply that don't go far double action capable. If y'all call up I'm talking out my ass, that's my Desert Hawkeye below. --Predator20 06:53, 2 Jan 2010 (UTC)

Magnum Research Desert Hawkeye MK I - .357 Magnum. Get-go model of Desert Hawkeye put into production.

Hell, im not a expert in guns... but a a gas operated trigger means that the trigger uses gas (like a assault rifle) to actually fire the the bullet, so in a way, yous shouldn't inverse it Random internet user

You lot are wrong. Set on rifles do not have a 'gas operated trigger'. They are gas-operated, but their trigger arrangement is basically the same as recoil operated guns. Gas operation means that the weapon uses gas, from the exploded gunpowder, to motility the mechanism, eject the spent casing, where a spring, or springs, accept over and move the action forward, loading a new circular. The gas is bled a fashion from the barrel, either through a tube going directly into the bolt carrier ('Direct Impingement') or into a sleeping accommodation/tube where information technology pushes back on a piston ('Gas Piston'), which moves the action. All firearms uses the gunpowder gas to propel the bullet. Then yes, you are definitely no skillful on guns. Ramell 23:00, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Simple handguns for low-powered calibers (.22LR, .25ACP, ,32ACP (7.65mm), .380ACP (9mm short), and 9mm Makarov, use uncomplicated blowback functioning. The but thing keeping the breech (attached to the slide) is a spring. But at that place are limits with blowback operation. Calibers more than powerful than the in a higher place can have violent extraction, violent plenty to to damage the case, and and then need the breech to be locked when firing and held until the pressure has dropped to ensure safe extraction. This kind of performance is called delayed blowback, although some pistols simply used heavier breechblocks and stronger springs (Astra 400 series). Most pistols firing cartridges of 9mm Parabellum or higher use some form of delayed blowback. The M1911 uses lugs on the barrel that match to recesses in the slide and the swinging link to delay the functioning. The Browning HP-Power (GP-35) uses cammed surfaces. Gas operation is another way of delaying the operation during summit pressure. More used on set on rifles (and battle rifles, automobile guns, etc) just has been used on some pistols. The gas from firing is bled off near the cage where it acts against a piston, or to the bolt directly, which and then performs the chief unlocking of the breech. The delay in this process is enough to drop the bedchamber force per unit area to safer levels and so the process of extraction, ejection, and chambering the side by side cartridge can embark. The downside of gas operation in a pistol is that you MUST use full or semi-jacketed projectiles. Pure lead projectiles tin can clog upward the port and it is reportedly very difficult to clean. Wraith

whoever you are you need to further explain this concept of a gas operated trigger... Are nosotros talking pneumatically operated or something? Are nosotros talking to reset the trigger? to burn the bullet? to forcefulness the slide back? What are we talking virtually here? As far as I know the DE is gas operated only to button the slide dorsum at which indicate springs take care of everything else. -Ranger01

Correct. :) - Mr. Wolf 00:25, thirteen August 2011 (CDT)

to articulate the defoliation...

the desert hawkeye is single activity. when a magazine is inserted in the pistol, one has to rack the slide back to sleeping accommodation a round, thus cocking the hammer in the rearward position and putting the pistol in a ready to fire mode. if it was double activeness, then every time you clasp the trigger, regardless if loaded or not, the hammer would be in motion going back and so forward striking the firing pivot when the trigger breaks.

and it is gas operated. there is a piston that is located under the barrel wich is pushed rearward past propellant gases through holes in the barrel forth with the slide wich and then ejects and reloads some other circular, and likewise cocks the hammer and ready's itself for some other shot. thats why FMJ ammo is not reccomended due to the gas piston MAY get itself soldered to the slide or the frame of the pistol in wich it resides, not that information technology will, just its possible to happen.

depending on wich configuration your getting in this firearm, there is no "special" ammo for it except the .50AE. the .50 action express was basically designed for this pistol. It was developed in 1988 past Evan Whildin of Action Artillery. all others will shoot whatever .357 mag or .44 mag. i baby mine then i employ jhp'due south. dont get them confused with the .357 sig or the .44 special.

The only commercial handgun cartridges designed that exceed its ballistic functioning are the .454 Casull, .460 S&West Magnum and the .500 S&W Magnum.

every bit far as stopping a moving vehicle, that depends on where its making contact. i know if i was shooting mine at a vehicle, id just shoot the commuter or the gas tank, but well-nigh handguns probably wont stop a vehicle in reality anways, and ane who tries volition nearly likely stop upwardly being roadkill.

ill think of more than when i get some more time. promise this helps with some of the confusion.

Do any terrorists in real life use this handgun??

- It'southward certainly a possibility. Though I imagine it'd be pretty uncommon. StanTheMan xvi:12, thirty March 2010 (UTC)

Mayhap some well off terrorists. You can probably go half a dozen Makarovs for the cost of i DE. --Funkychinaman 16:47, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

---As a general dominion, no. Information technology has never been manufactured in significant numbers (ie. hundreds of thousands) or exported en masse to tertiary earth countries. Information technology's prohibitively expensive and ammunition is difficult to acquire (particularly in the example of the .50AE version). Moreover, you'd take to be completely ignorant to wield this oversized toy against other human beings if you had any other options at all.

Not all terrorists are from 3rd world countries. --Btgr (talk) 15:29, 7 January 2013 (EST)

Magnums: Desert Eagle vs. Revolver

I take a character in a Sci-fi story where he often encounters large, ferocious, and very tough true cat-like creatures and he carry's a magnum handgun every bit a secondary sidearm for the them. What would be best, A .44 Magnum Desert Eagle or a .44 Magnum Revolver? He can handle ether of them well, so that's not a factor.

Protip: In 9 out of ten cases of apprentice/fan fiction, Desert Eagle = Gary Stu --PistolJunkie 00:19, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Changing the gun doesn't alter the grapheme. Getting rid of a symptom doesn't cure the disease. --Mr-Jigsaw 05:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

A revolver is more reliable and practical compared to the Desert Eagle in nigh instances.

- Revolver. Ditto higher up - The Desert Eagle, for all it'due south cool-kickass looks, isn't exactly known for information technology's solid reliability from what I gather. Only main reward it does accept over the revolver is two extra set rounds, and frankly, if whatever he's shooting at isn't taken care of with half-dozen .44s, the actress two more-than-probable won't help all that much. Plus, well, if it's a sci-fi story and he's conveying a (soon) contemporary firearm in the beginning place, why not go all out and apply the wheelgun? I call up it would 'evidence a certain sense of style', myself. ;) StanTheMan 05:forty, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

It also and so up to you as the writer, as a which ones do you like?, and what ones dose the grapheme like. the Character could be if he is quondam mode and like using a Revolver,or virtually been killed by one when his gun jammed he might comport a Revolver. a Revolver would also make it ease to load and shoot exploding rounds and other "special bullets" (if he employ whatever). you could have the flip side that carry'due south a Desert Eagle because he was nearly killed because his Revolver took too long to reload. if he uses a Revolver is he could too have a minor .357 Snubnosed revolver in a ankle holster equally a last ditch weapon. I would too assume that the Graphic symbol use Rifle(Battle Rifle, Assail rifle,or hunting) or shot gun as well considering attacking Big hard to kill Fauna with just a Revolver doesn't seem similar the best idea in the globe. Rex095

Thank you all, I'k staying as realistic as I tin with this, and I know A LOT virtually guns. ;) I'll get with the 44 Revolver because I'd rather take reliability than 1 (with .50 AE) to 2 extra rounds and slightly faster reloading. This sci-fi story takes identify in the far future but I'm avoiding the platitude' of merely made up weapons. I can't see most modern weapon designs today being improved upon too much. Ironically, I recollect revolvers will be around much longer then the Desert Eagle. ;) Oh and his primary sidearm is a 12 circular .45 which is an improved version of the H&K HK45, his rifle of choice is an G36-based, vii.62 NATO, 32 round, balderdash-pup assault rifle and he carries a sawn-off O&U shotgun as a back-up.

wouldn't his burglarize be G3-Based? an explanation on why were all the same using bullets is that if there on some other globe so is easier to make on a newly colonized worlds. Because Laser and Track guns are more complicated to make and requires more than maintenance.REX095

No, I did mean G36-based. It uses the same internal system and it's external appearance is similar merely more streamlined and bull-puped. It just uses the more powerful 7.62 NATO and it's constructed of stainless-steel and ultra-tough plastic.

You plain don't know much almost guns if you are even asking whether a professional of any sort would choose to apply this wonky, unreliable firearm. It's practical uses do non extend across impressing people at parties. If this is the far hereafter information technology's safe to assume that extremely powerful, extremely high chapters pistols have been designed, and new cartridges to continue with them. Caseless rounds with electronic primers and the like. But you lot practice desire him to employ older weapons, and rotate ammunition types, then some sort of revolver would be the way to go. It'due south not a stretch to imagine in the futurity they've developed a 7 round cylinder for .44 magnum.

For your information, I do know a lot almost weapons. I but didn't know all the issues with the Desert Eagle, and then I researched information technology a lot and well, it does suck, bad. So yep, I'm sticking with the wheel-gun. :) You lot know, in my stories a Desert Eagle never even graces the hands of any of my characters. As for me in existent life, I prefer 9mm's and .45's, I especially love .45's, and and so does this detail character (meet above). Simply if I desire something with more oomph, I'd go for a .357 or .44 Magnum revolver. ;)

This is merely an opinion, but I think the real cliche' would be having barely explained laser or plasma or any guns. BeardedHoplite 17:43, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree, :) atleast when I designed my Equalizer handgun (meant for some other story) I did my best to explain how information technology works and information technology's designed similar a conventional handgun, it looks kinda like a cross between a HK USP and a Glock, and it'due south neither frail or hard to maintain. :) Do yous want me to explain how my Blaster works? if not, I actually desire to wrap this comment section upwards. This is the Desert Eagle discussion page, not my Sci-fi Story discussion folio. ;D

I kinda wanna know how the blaster works. But id go wheel gun all the way, in an apocalypse magazines are hard to find and sand gets eveywhere. --Helm Snikt 02:59, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Operators?

Are any Police Enforcement, Armed Forces etc issued a Desert Eagle as a weapon?

No. The Wierd Information technology 14:55, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

I once read on Wikipedia that some of Mexico's Military Police used the .50AE version in case they needed to disable vehicles, simply beingness as that information was not there a short time later I assume it was just some guy posting nonsense.

There is no reason for them to buy a weapon like that for just 1 very specialized purpose when there are literally hundreds of rifles that price less, are more than reliable, and have a better upshot on vehicles and their occupants and have ammo that'south easier to obtain and spare parts readily available and are far more versatile. No government agency uses the Desert Eagle.--PistolJunkie 20:xvi, i Dec 2010 (UTC)

Heard that a constable in Texas carries a Desert Eagle chambered in .50AE. Not issued merely he still carries it.--FIVETWOSEVEN 02:52, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I can almost certainly confirm that. I live only outside of Houston, and ive spotted a Lawman conveying a .357 Desert Eagle in a quite oversized holster made to fit his duty chugalug. Didn't really have time to enquire him why he carried it but i was pumping gas when he pulled up next to me with it in his holster and i fabricated the observation of saying information technology was a Desert Eagle, to which he replied it was a .357. I wouldn't think many cops carry them at all considering it is a very impractical weapon to have, merely when your in the position to cull your sidearm i guess you pick what you lot want.--Doc345 06:43, seven June 2011 (UTC)

Nearly of being a cop is about intimidation right? If you lot become a shiny stainless Eagle with a barrel large plenty to fall into pointed at a guy, he might be less likely to "try something." --ManiacallyChallenged

I think that's kinda the whole point behind the design of the Desert Eagle: Intimidation. With it's huge, bulky appearance and the type of round it fires, using information technology in for example, a domicile defense scenario will definitely send the bad guys packing for surrender (if of course, the inhabitants of the abode have had proper preparation on how to handle a Desert Eagle later on purchasing it, and know how to keep a cool caput in a life-or-death scenario). Plus, the loud written report of a .357, .44 or .50AE round (whether indoors or outdoors) and the massive flame that spits out the terminate of the barrel in a nighttime area would definitely make the bad guy start shaking in his boots if the looks alone oasis't already sent him crying for mommy. As Clint Eastwood said in Dirty Harry, the Magnum round can "blow your head clean off" :) --ThatoneguyJosh 00:fourteen, 13 August 2011 (CDT)

Yes and no... My uncle used to exist in GOE (Grupo de Operações Especiais (Counter terrorist group)) and at that place are no restrictions when it comes to sidearms for them. They have Desert Eagle in .357. My uncle said he's never seen any of his coleagues wielding it, everyone preffered H&Yard USP, Glock pistols, SIG pistols (220 series, SP series and GSR), Walther P99 or FN P35 (Browning HP), he personally preffered P226. Guess only a nutcases for Desert Eagles would really desire it.

Thank you for sharing that interesting bit of information. --ThatoneguyJosh 21:twenty, 25 October 2011 (CDT)

Size

When looking at some pages I noticed the size of the DE looks (at least to me) different. I hateful similar in La Femme Nikita and others the DE doesn't look huge, but in Desperado (and really any movie with the .l AE Mark XIX)it does. What I'm asking is if in that location is any major size differences between the models and the calibers. BeardedHoplite 02:32, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

No not really, in that location was a slight difference in the Mark I and Mark VII barrels and slides, since the barrels weren't interchangeable. (The Mark Seven .50AE can interchange with Mark XIX .357 and .44 barrels) The differences in size could exist the actors size, camera zoom etc.--Predator20 02:55, one February 2011 (UTC)

That's what I thought, thanks man. BeardedHoplite 20:16, i February 2011 (UTC)

.50 Caliber

I know that Desert Eagles (I am speaking of the Mark 19 simply to clarify) are capable of fire .l rounds. But I know it doesn't fire the aforementioned round as say a Barrett M28, so how exactly are they firing the same caliber circular? --Glockness Monster 00:eleven, ten July 2011 (CDT)

Calibre is but how wide the bullet is; the difference between .fifty Action Express and .50 BMG is i is 12.7x33mm while the other is 12.7x99mm; the .50 AE bullet is a stumpy little thing while the .50 BMG is a huge pointy thing. It'south like asking why a vi-foot thin guy and a half dozen-foot fat guy are different. Evil Tim 03:22, x July 2011 (CDT)

DE Drum?

I guess while I'g on this page I should ask another silly question I have. Is information technology possible to use some kind of modified mag, a drum, beta, or at least an extended magazine on a Mark 19 Desert Eagle? --Glockness Monster 00:16, 10 July 2011 (CDT)

Given the aftermarket parts industry has given us hundred round M1911 snail drums, I'm simply going to go out on a limb and say "almost certainly." Evil Tim 03:16, 10 July 2011 (CDT)

Non Fluted .44 Mark 19

All right guys I'm going to ruffle a few feathers here, only in that location are .44 magnum versions of the Mark XIX that aren't fluted. Take a look at Talk:Phone call of Duty: Modernistic Warfare 3 and Talk:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3/Annal 2 under "Desert Eagle Error" for the full details, but I posted this photograph to prove that they are out there and for sale:

DE .44 Mag XIX.jpg

I know, I know, I just messed upwards a lot of movies out in that location. Honestly though, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those DE'southward were really chambered in .44, simply because .44 blanks are A LOT cheaper and/or easier to brand and/or more common than .fifty AE blanks.

Actually, MPM (who is an bodily motion picture armourer) says Hollywood nigh exclusively uses .357 or .50AE Desert Eagles, while Canadian armourers use .44. Remember Hollywood's "hot" blanks aren't regular blanks and aren't subject to the aforementioned supply chains. As for the paradigm; having looked around more, information technology seems in that location are some early unfluted .44 barrels floating around for the marking 19, just that'south from an online auction site and I found the same paradigm here without the watermark and the disclaimer "Prototype may not be an exact representation of the actual item," so information technology'southward entirely possible information technology'south not actually a .44 at all. While I was checking to see if you were right I actually found several sites claiming they had .44s for auction which had ".50AE" printed at the muzzle. Evil Tim eleven:41, 25 November 2011 (CST)

You can still become unfluted barrels, simply to get them new you usually only have to request it from the manufacturer. Either manner yous put it, you can't assume that all unfluted Mark Xix Desert Eagles are .50 AE. --Ranger12 15:24, 25 Nov 2011 (CST)

What exactly are those things on the Boondock Saints' guns?

I first assumed that they were supressors, but everyone seems to call them "barrel weights" or "match weights." What are those? - User: 2wingo

They attach to the concern cease of the pistol. Helps reduce muzzle climb. --DeltaOne (talk) 08:25, 21 December 2012 (EST)

And they're called compensators, BTW. Spartan198 (talk) 07:eleven, 8 January 2013 (EST)

They aren't compensators on the Boondock Saints' guns. Compensators have slits or ports on the summit to redirect some of the gas upwards to annul the upward recoil of the gun, these guns simply have a weighted shroud over the extended barrel (ten" I would guess). Putting this at the front of the barrel volition also help counteract the upwards recoil by adding more than weight, but my approximate would be they are there more for aesthetic reasons on these guns. --commando552 (talk) 07:20, 8 January 2013 (EST)

.38 Special

I know that most .357 Magnum revolvers can also bedchamber .38 Special rounds, only tin can a .357 Magnum DE do the same? It'southward a plot betoken in a murder mystery I'thousand writing. - User: 2wingo

If you put a circular in the chamber, I call back it would burn down safely despite the fact that the circular is shorter as it even so headspaces on the rim. However this is all you would be able to do. The Desert Eagle is already very picky almost the ammunition you apply, and .38 Special would just not be powerful enough to cycle the gas arrangement that the Desert Eagle uses. Likewise the magazine and feed ramp are designed specifically for a .357 Magnum length round, so I imagine that it would have problem feeding the shorter .38 Special. Information technology would probable exist possible to change the mag, feed ramp, recoil spring and gas arrangement on a Desert Eagle to allow it to burn down the .38 Special, but this would brand it incapable of using .357 Magnum rounds. Also they would accept the be FMJ .38 Specials, as unjacketed pb bullets mess with the gas system. --commando552 (talk) xx:00, 12 January 2013 (EST)

Extended Barrels

I have this encyclopedia on weapons and armor used by society from the Stone Historic period all the way to the present. Information technology's section on the Desert Eagle showed one with an extended barrel, and for the longest time that was how I percieved what the Desert Eagle looked like.

My question is, how come up we don't see Desert Eagles with extended barrels in media (motion picture, goggle box, video games). I hateful, almost every firearm that has become a household name has had hundreds of unlike customizations and variations depicted, but not the Desert Eagle. - User:1morey August 22, 2016 1:08 PM (EST)

They do appear, just not very much. We have a few appearances listed on hither of Desert Eagle with factory 10" or 14" barrels, along with some custom made extended butt models. I recall the reason that you don't see them much though is that they are incredibly impractical as a pistol. They can't be practically holstered and so characters can generally non credibly carry them in a film/TV testify. If you lot put a compensator or extended barrel on a Glock, it is notwithstanding feasibly practical that it can be carried in a holster. --commando552 (talk) 14:47, 22 Baronial 2016 (EDT)

Out of curiosity...

...does everyone accept the damnedest clue why the iii versions of the Desert Eagle are the Marker 1, the Mark 7, and the Mark 19? I don't run across why IMI would skip around like that with no real blueprint, peculiarly because how relatively small the variations between the models are. Can anybody out in that location explain this odd naming choice? Pyr0m4n14c (talk) sixteen:38, 13 July 2018 (EDT)

It's all to do with R&D. A lot of stuff that probably wouldn't brand whatever corrective difference, but would terminate up having long term furnishings due to things like stress fractures and stuff like that cease up ramping up the amendment numbers. Trust me, I'one thousand a (former) aircraft stress engineer for ane of the earth'south biggest defence contractors. Only like an aircraft, a gun goes through a high amount of stress every time it'southward used, and therefore you lot take to brand certain everything is perfect for it to last a long fourth dimension. The problem here is that they should have taken a leaf out of the software engineers' volume and only updated the "marking" number for final consumer releases.
