I have 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 Does the DE fire .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum rounds originally made for revolvers or automatic rimmless .357 DE and .44 DE rounds?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
- It fires actual rimmed ammo, one reason it tends to be unreliable. Currently nobody produces rimless, too bad as I always thought semiauto carbines in rimless magnums would be effective.
- You can buy special .44 Magnum ammo for the Desert Eagle. I went with my father to buy ammo once 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 as normal rounds though-S&Wshooter
Next to 'Call of Duty 4' in the listing of games this gun appears in, someone left this comment:
- Apparently, Call of Duty 4 is the source of gaming popularity of the gun and the word "Deagle"
No, that would be Counter-Strike. Call of Duty 4 was only released in 2007, and both the gun and the nickname "Deagle" have been popular in the mainstream gaming world for much longer than that. --MattyDienhoff 11:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't know if that's true because It is called a "Deagle" in Hitman 2 and that came out quite a few years ago(around 2000)
Would any of the ammunition that the desert Eagle piercing body armor?
- It would depend on what ammunition and what level of body armor is in question. Level 1 armor is only designed to stop rounds up to .380 ACP, level 2A up to .40S&W, level 2 up to .357 Magnum, and level 3A up to .44 Magnum. Any level Higher than that is intended to stop rifle rounds and would most likely stop all Desert Eagle rounds. -Anonymous
Pump Shotty Justice-That's interesting.
could the .50 AE round stop a car engine? Rex095
- There are alot of variables to consider there. What component of the engine was hit? 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 be a better a question for the Mythbusters. -Anonymous
Action
I feel dumb 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 Action
- It's single action not sure why it was listed on the page as double/single. (I changed the page, also not sure why it listed as a gas operated trigger either I have no idea what that means) The hammer must be down in order to fire. The Mark VII and XIX have an adjustable trigger but that don't make it double action capable. If you think I'm talking out my ass, that's my Desert Eagle below. --Predator20 06:53, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
