Manufactured by Israeli Military Industries, for Magnum Research. A Gas-operated massive motherfucker.
Generally known to be one of the most powerful pistols available today, the Desert Eagle has obscene stopping power. Coming in .357, .41 .44 Magnum, .50 Action Express and .440 Cor-Bon calibres, the Desert Eagle fires big-bore rounds. Popularized by films, television and video-games, e.g. Half-Life Counter-Strike, the Desert Eagle is in fact avoided by everyone from counter-terrorism squads to terrorists themselves. It is about twice as heavy as the average pistol and approaches 11 inches in length - a normal pistol is about 6-7 inches. The Desert Eagle has considerable recoil and its only real use is sport-hunting, due to its single-shot accuracy, and sheer power - it could probably stop a bear dead in its tracks. The .50AE, is half an inch in calibre and weighs 'only' about 19 grammes. It's relatively slow, however, which severely impacts on its performance as a longer-range weapon.

Only men of Arnold Schwarzenegger's physique can truly handle the Desert Eagle, especially when chambered in .50 Action Express.

So powerful that it is illegal under the Geneva Convention to shoot this at ground troops unless over a certain distance. (Sniper applications). The world record for one man killed is 1,800 metres, by an elite sniper squad, with access to a .50cal, GPS, laser rangefinders, etc. They still needed multiple shots to hit their target.
Still, leaves an exit wound the size of Canada.
Oh and this is much more powerful than a .50AE round, they are NOT the same.

A old spiritual sung by plantation slaves.
Recently popularized (in the UK) by the success of England's rugby squad in the Rugby World Cup and in particular Fly-Half Jonny Wilkinson. He scored a conversion in the last 90 seconds or so, putting the score ahead to 20-17, from 17-17.
For those who come from non-rugby playing countries:
Try: 5 points.
Conversion: 3 points. Mr Wilkinson's speciality.

Swing Low primarily refers to their eventual semblances of freedom, E.T.A. 28th August 1963. Possibly, the "Sweet Chariot" symbolizes civil rights legislation that may free the oppressed black peoples of America, and everywhere in a more general way.

Television shows that very few normal people watch. It must be said, however, that wildlife documentaries are excellently produced and carefully wrought.
