Talk:Desert Eagle

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 Does the DE fire .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum rounds originally made for revolvers or automatic rimmless .357 DE and .44 DE rounds?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.

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)
