A gas-operated semi-automatic pistol from Isreal. It serves no real practicalpurpose in the real world. It most popularly shoots the .50 Action Express Calibre. It is obscenely heavy and inaccurate. It is only used to look mean in movies and video games.

The Desert Eagle, or DGUL, is widely regarded as the most powerful pistol. It fires off devastatingly huge rounds. The common versions are the .357 magnum, the .44 magnum, and the .50 caliber AE. Another version is the Jericho, or Baby Eagle, which is a double action pistol for reduced recoil. That fires .41 AE rounds.
It is also has some nice firing capabilities since it fires semi automatically. How ever fast you can pull the trigger, thats how fast you can fire. The main reason that the Desert Eagle isn't more widely used is because off the massive amounts of recoil with each shot. It takes immense strength, concentration, and skill to fire off the Desert Eagle accurately. The Desert Eagle is another one of Israel's incredible weapons.

Your neighbor, your co-worker, your classmate, Desert Eagles are found all over the country. A desert eagle is an Arabian American man or woman who was born in the United States but has Middle Eastern heritage. They are easy to point out as they are usually the ones being stopped at airport checkpoints and can normally show you the geography and current events of the Middle East far better then you can.
If I was in the Freedom Writers, I don't know where the fuck I would fit in, I guess I would have to create a new Al Quida group just for us Desert Eagles.
Being a Desert Eagle, they would probably stop me in the state of Arizona due to my skin tone and either send me back to Mexico or Egypt, whatever they see fit at the time.
Not only do I fit in the United States, I'm also an Iranian nationalist, I will be spared in WWIII, however dem Koreans, well thats another story.

Dont be such a Desert Eagle, do something good for once.
That person is such a Desert Eagle, they're so hollow they could never follow through.

Desert Eagle. Pretty cool gun. Finicky with ammo. Really does not like lightly loaded rounds. Mine does fairly well with the ammo I reload for it using starline brass, Rainier 335gr bullets, CCI-350 primers, and 29 grains (weight not individual grains) of H110 powder.
The percieved recoil is actually less than most .44magnum revolvers like my 44 Ruger Blackhawk. This is due to it being gas operated and especially due to its excessive weight. Those of you that say it will break your wrist have no clue what you are talking about. Don't buy into the hype. It's powerful for a handgun but it is completely controllable with practice.
It's not worth having if you don't reload as ammo is $1-$1.50 per round. I can load the above "recipe" for about $160 per thousand if I already have the brass which can withstand a dozen or more loadings.
It does serve a practical role as a hunting handgun but is probably rarely used as such.

A handgun origionally made in Israel, by IMI (who are also the makers of the Galil and Uzi). It is gas-operated, and comes in .357, .44, and .50 calibers. Even more powerful against living targets when loaded with hollow-point bullets, which expand when they hit the flesh, easily ahnialating the back of one's head if shot in the face.
Also, pre-pubescent assholes think that the Desert Eagle is an easy to hold weapon that gives next-to-nothing recoil (read: counter strike). However, the moment you hand them a Desert Eagle at a shooting range and they shoot just one bullet off they'll probably: A) Break their wrists from the recoil. -or- B) Break most of their face because they were holding the gun about as lightly as one would hold a BB/Pellet pistol.

Capacities:
.50 Caliber - 7 Rounds
.44 Caliber - 8 Rounds
.357 Caliber - 9 Rounds
...and for all you people who don't know what the hell caliber is, it's the diameter of the bullet. More caliber = more gunpowder = more power.
