Desert Eagle pistol: photo, description, full characteristics

There are many different large-caliber small arms models on the global arms market. One of them was the Desert Eagle pistol. Hollywood films and computer games brought widespread popularity to this weapon.

Nevertheless, professional shooters have mixed feelings about this pistol. This is due to the fact that the Desert Eagle is the largest pistol in the world. It is quite difficult to shoot from it, and the shooting model itself is rare. Information about the history of creation, design and technical characteristics of the Desert Eagle is contained in the article.

About the history of creation

In the 70s, the Americans began design work on designing a pistol to fire the powerful 357 Magnum cartridge. Magnum Research was created specifically for this purpose. In 1983, the first version of the pistol was ready, which in the technical documentation is listed as Eagle 357. Patented by an employee of the American company, Bernard S. White. Israeli gunsmiths from IMI began refining the pistol. Two years later, the improved rifle unit with design changes made to it received a second patent. It was from this time that this weapon model was known as the Desert Eagle 357 Magnum pistol. The first release amounted to 1 thousand pistols. In subsequent years, several modifications were created. Today, the first model is considered a real rarity and is especially valued by many collectors and small arms enthusiasts.

Ammunition used

Currently, Desert Eagle pistols can be converted to the following ammunition calibers: .50 Action Express, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum.
Conversion is performed by replacing the bolt, magazine and barrel, and can be done in the field. The production and sale of accessories for .440 Cor-bon and .41 Magnum caliber ammunition has been discontinued.

Magnum Research, the developer of the Desert Eagle pistol, warns that it is preferable to use ammunition that is partially coated with a copper jacket - as opposed to ammunition in which the bullet's lead core is exposed at the sides. Due to the high muzzle energy of the pistol, soft lead rubbing against the walls of the barrel sticks to them, contaminating the gas outlet tube. It is quite difficult to clean off this lead afterwards. In addition, hot lead will coat the reloading mechanism piston and recoil spring, which can cause misfires and render the pistol inoperable. In addition, Magnum Research does not recommend the use of ammunition reloaded from spent casings.

About the device

According to experts, Desert Eagle has a very original design. The automatic operation of the pistol, as in the 47th model of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, operates using the energy of powder gases. “Desert Eagle” - with a gas outlet tube, which is located above the barrel. Through it, powder gases are removed from the barrel channel and act on the bolt frame. The barrel is locked using bolt cylinders. In this way, the Desert is structurally similar to the American M16 automatic rifle. According to experts, the gas exhaust pipe gives the Desert Eagle greater massiveness in appearance. The increase in weight is also due to the fact that, in an effort to provide the bolt frame with the space necessary for its movements, the body of this rifle unit was made longer.

The bolt is equipped with four lugs that engage the barrel breech. Desert was equipped with a trigger mechanism. The shutter is locked by a safety lock. Ammunition is supplied from a single-row magazine. There are two options for clips: 7 and 9 rounds. "Desert Eagle" - with open, non-adjustable sights. Some pistol models can be equipped with optical sights. At first, aluminum alloys were used in the production of weapons, which were later replaced by weapons-grade steel. Desert - with various coating options: there are pistols with blued, nickel and gold plated.

Page about the Desert Eagle pistol (general information, cartridges, FAQ, cleaning, characteristics, image gallery).

Desert Eagle is so far the only mass-produced semi-automatic pistol whose design uses gas exhaust from the barrel to operate the weapon’s reloading system in combination with a locking element made in the form of a rotating combat cylinder.

The considerations that forced the creators of Desert Eagle to apply such technical solutions in a semi-automatic pistol seem obvious: in long-barreled weapons, which use much more powerful cartridges than in a pistol, such systems have proven themselves to be the best and have made it possible to create many samples of the most reliable, trouble-free and effective weapon. Desert Eagle was originally made for a revolver cartridge (.357 Magnum), and the cartridge cases of revolver cartridges are not designed to work in automatic weapons - they are long, very thin-walled, and do not allow the bolt to begin to move with residual pressure in the barrel (this leads to their swelling and even transverse rupture). The large length of the cartridge case does not allow the use of a locking system traditional for pistols with a lower barrel (extraction of the cartridge case will be very difficult), and the use of a blowback action is impossible due to the high power of the cartridge. All that remains is the gas outlet circuit.

But the quality of a weapon is not always determined by the progressiveness of the technical solutions used in its creation. Deliberately simplifying the criteria for evaluating weapons, we can say that the main criterion for the quality of a weapon is the combat effectiveness not even of the weapon itself (the firing device), but of the “cartridge-weapon-person” complex. In the "cartridge-Desert Eagle-person" complex, the weak link turned out to be... the person. It’s hard for a person to carry around such a large, heavy thing (1.5 kg) like this pistol everywhere, and human fatigue also reduces the combat effectiveness of this complex - after all, short-barreled weapons much more often uselessly burden their owner than are used for their intended purpose. The recoil of this weapon has also proven to be too "heavy" for most users of this weapon, although the use of a gas release mechanism is believed to reduce the felt recoil and displacement of the weapon's barrel during a shot. According to owners, the recoil when shooting from the Desert Eagle .357 Magnum is less than when shooting from pistols under 9 mm Luger (Beretta-92, Glock, SIG, HK USP). The nature of the recoil itself is also different. The basic rule when shooting from this pistol is that the hand must be firmly secured and the recoil must be absorbed by the shoulder through the entire arm (if this condition is not met, the probability of jamming is approximately 60%). As for the recoil when shooting from a pistol under .50 AE, it is the same or even less than when shooting from revolvers under .44 Magnum (medium and small frame). If we compare it with revolvers under .454 Casull or under .50 AE - significantly less.

In addition, in the Desert Eagle pistol, judging by the reviews of the owners, it was not possible to achieve the reliability necessary for a military weapon (failure-free operation is possible only with high-quality ammunition; the need to keep the mechanisms clean and lubricated). Expensive weapons, in addition, maintaining them in proper shape is also quite expensive. This pistol can only be used as a sporting weapon for target shooting. Can also be used for hunting.

Therefore, we can say that the practice of using pistols has not yet given a clear answer to the question about the prospects of using such systems in short-barreled weapons. But weapon designers continue to think about the possible use of residual energy of powder gases in short-barreled automatic weapons and the use of various rotating elements in the locking systems of such weapons.

In 1979, a company with the characteristic name “Magnum Research Incorporated” arose in Minneapolis. She was faced with a very specific task - to develop and introduce a fundamentally new pistol chambered for the .357 Magnum revolver cartridge. Among the cartridges for personal weapons, the .357 Magnum is considered one of the most powerful - with a barrel length of 152 mm, a bullet weighing 10.23 g has an initial speed of 435 m/s and a muzzle energy of 968 J. Since this cartridge was introduced in 1935 was born, it became one of the most popular among fans of powerful revolvers. The development was called “Magnum Eagle” (the word eagle - eagle) and later became part of the names of all the company’s designs. The pistol was initially intended for shooting at metal targets, as well as for hunting: sport shooting from powerful pistols, as well as hunting with them, are now very fashionable among American gun enthusiasts. The founders of the company, J. Lindig, H. Skildam and HZ Skildam, are considered the “ideologists” of the pistol; B. White was invited for design and technological development.

The need to combine high power with shooting accuracy forced us to settle on a system with a fixed barrel, strong locking with a rotating bolt and automation based on the removal of powder gases from the barrel bore. A similar system is widespread in other types of weapons, but pistols with such a design can be counted on one hand - here a free (less often, semi-free) bolt or a movable barrel with a short stroke are much more common. Meanwhile, the very first automatic weapon system with the removal of powder gases, patented by the Clare brothers in 1883, was a pistol.

The working prototype of the "Eagle" was ready in 1981, but problems with the automation and power mechanism forced Magnum Research to seek help in refining and setting up production from renowned arms companies. As a result, a contract was concluded with the well-known Israeli Military Industries - IMI corporation, based in Rabat Hasharon. In 1983 (one hundred years after the Clare brothers' patent), a design finally appeared that satisfied both partners and was called the Desert Eagle. Initially released in the .357 “Magnum” version (bullet weight 10.2 g or 158 gr), the pistol changed caliber several times during production. This is how the model chambered for the .44 Magnum cartridge appeared. This cartridge, released in 1953 for hunting revolvers, was much more powerful - a semi-jacketed bullet weighing 15.55 g with an initial speed of 448 m/s had a muzzle energy of 1560 J. In 1987, due to increased interest in 10 mm cartridges, The .41 AE (Action Express, developed by Evan Wilding) with an 11.6 g bullet was released. It has become, as it were, intermediate between the 9x19 “Luger” (with which it has similar case dimensions) and .45 ACP. Among other 10-mm pistols, the “Desert Eagle” modification was also released for this cartridge. In 1991, the 12.7 mm .50 AE cartridge appeared, developed by Evan Wilding and IMI designers specifically for the Desert Eagle. The .50 AE has become a “monster” in the range of pistol cartridges, reaching, in terms of power, an intermediate level - a bullet with a Uni-Cor head void, for example, has a mass of 21 g, an initial speed of 427 m/s and a muzzle energy of 1914 J, an ordinary CCI “Magnum research” bullet is 19.4 g, 457 m/s and 2025 J, and a 22.68-g semi-jacketed one develops an energy of 2373 J (!). The lethal effect, according to fans of hunting with a pistol or revolver, is 78 percent higher than that of the .44 Magnum cartridge. It is curious that the dimensions of the rim and groove of the .50 AE cartridge case are similar to those of the .44 Magnum, which made it possible not to alter the pistol’s bolt. The recoil energy is twice that of a .45 ACP and 80 percent that of a .44 Magnum, so even with as much mass as the Desert Eagle has, its barrel still shoots up a lot. In 1998, a new model appeared - chambered for .440 Cor-Bon. The cartridge is a truncated .50 AE bottle-shaped case with a .44 Magnum bullet. The jacket bullet of this cartridge weighing 19.8 g has a muzzle velocity of 488 m/s and an energy of 2355 J. A cartridge with a lighter bullet weighing 15.6 g provides it with a speed of 579 m/s and an energy of 2616 J. The maximum pressure of this cartridge is approximately two times higher than .50 AE (more than 50,000 psi). The pistol's barrel is similar to the .44 Magnum.

Let us now consider the pistol itself. The gas outlet is made in the barrel wall in front of the chamber. Through it, gases are diverted forward through a special channel, then they are turned down into a gas chamber, bored out in the lower tide of the muzzle of the barrel (meaning a “standard” barrel 152 mm long). This tide, by the way, also plays the role of a weight, shifting the center of mass forward and down and reducing the vibrations of the barrel when firing. The barrel is locked by four lugs of the rotating bolt, and the bolt frame is designed in the form of a movable casing open at the top. The frame has an inclined notch for the fingers, as on a conventional shutter-casing. Having passed into the gas chamber, the powder gases press on a separate light piston, which transmits the push to the front bridge of the bolt frame. The annular groove on the piston serves to seal gases. When the frame moves back, its protrusion rotates the bolt, unlocking the barrel bore. Then the frame with the bolt moves back, ensuring the extraction and ejection of the spent cartridge case, the disconnection of the trigger rod from the sear, the cocking of the hammer and the compression of the return mechanism spring. The latter includes two springs on a U-shaped guide rod placed in a frame under the barrel. After reaching the extreme position, the frame with the bolt begins to move forward under the action of return springs, the bolt captures a new cartridge from the magazine, sends it into the barrel and, turning, locks the barrel bore. Such a scheme allows you not only to leave the barrel motionless when firing, but also to absorb some of the recoil energy, and this is a significant plus for a weapon chambered for a powerful cartridge. In order not to clog the gas outlet when firing, it is recommended to equip the magazine with cartridges with jacketed bullets or semi-jacketed ones with a slight exposure of the core in the head part. Thus, Magnum Research expressly states that the warranty will be terminated when cartridges are loaded with non-jacketed bullets or jacketed bullets, but with lead exposed in the rear of the bullet. The bevel of the chamber and the inclined groove of the pistol frame make reliable feeding possible both with an oval bullet shape and with a flat area or void (funnel) in its head.

The barrel with a chrome-plated chamber and bullet entrance has a polygonal rifling - the barrel bore is a hexagonal prism twisted with a screw. It is believed that this provides more reliable guidance of the bullet along the rifling and makes the barrel more durable. The barrel (more precisely, the barrel block) is made replaceable, attached to the frame with its breech boss and secured with a locking device. Previously (Mark VII series, produced in Israel), the pistol was supplied with a set of barrels 6, 10 and 14 inches long, that is, 152, 254 and 355 mm, but now (Mark XIX series - produced in the USA) only barrels with lengths of 6 and 10 are available inches. To increase rigidity, the barrel is equipped with an upper bar and longitudinal figured grooves. In combination with the transverse grooves of the strap, these grooves allow the installation of optical or collimator sights on long barrels, which have become almost a mandatory attribute of American shooters during sporting competitions and hunting. As an optical sight, a Nimrad sight with fourfold magnification is usually offered. The pistol is also equipped for other purposes with combat sighting devices, including a permanent rear sight with a rectangular slot and a front sight. The sight and front sight are also mounted in the transverse grooves. The sight is on the bolt frame, the front sight is on the barrel, and they can be selected individually. In the factory version, the pistol is equipped with permanent (and not always well adjusted) sights, which has given rise to a whole series of proposals from smaller companies. A rear sight, adjustable in height and lateral displacement, can also be installed. For shooting at dusk, the rear sight and front sight can be equipped with luminous dots according to the “trijicon” system - three white dots, two white and one green, and so on.

The trigger mechanism is non-self-cocking, with a semi-open hammer and a screw mainspring. In the lowered position, the hammer does not touch the tail of the firing pin. The trigger rod extension serves as both a disconnector and an automatic safety device; it is located under the bolt frame in such a way that cocking the hammer is possible only when the bolt is completely locked. A non-automatic safety lever blocks the firing pin and separates the trigger and the trigger sear. The flag is mounted in recesses of the bolt frame on both sides. A double-sided safety has become a very common solution today, making it possible to make a pistol equally convenient for shooting with either hand. The standard sear assembly can be replaced with a device that allows you to adjust the trigger force - with a conventional sear, many shooters note a tight trigger.

The life of the recoil springs is 5,000 shots for a pistol under .357 Magnum and 3,000 shots for .50 AE. It is also necessary to replace the axles and springs of the ejector and extractor. The whole set costs about $40. The barrel life is approximately 100,000 shots.

The pistol grip has plastic cheeks, made as a single “wrapping” part and attached to the frame with a screw. Hogue Rubber grips have been installed since 1998. The shooter's palm is protected from being pinched by the cocked hammer by the highly developed rear protrusion of the frame. The shape of the trigger guard with a front bend is designed to hold the weapon with two hands, and this, admittedly, is very important, since aimed shooting from such a pistol is possible mainly with two hands.

Power is supplied from a box-shaped metal magazine. The magazine feeder has a coil spring, and numbered holes are made in the walls of the case to control the presence of cartridges. The capacity of magazines for cartridges of various calibers is as follows: for .357 Magnum - 9, for .41 and .44 Magnum - 8 and for .50 AE - 7 cartridges. The push-button magazine release is located behind the trigger guard. When the cartridges are used up, the magazine feeder turns on the bolt stop. Its lever is located on the left above the pistol grip.

In early 1996, Magnum Research announced that it had sold "the last Israeli-made pistol" in February. This did not mean, of course, the cessation of production of the Desert Eagle at IMI, but only the beginning of its production in the USA.

Manufactured by Sako Defense Inc. from the city of Saco. There are slightly fewer options - three calibers (.357, .44 and .50) with two barrel lengths (6 and 10 inches). A special feature of the Mark XIX model is that the basis of all pistols is the frame of the most powerful version of the .50 AE caliber, while all frame components are based on the Mark VII model in the .50 AE caliber.

About returns

The Desert Eagle, according to owners, is a real hand cannon. Compared to other types of firearms, the Desert Eagle has a very huge recoil. Therefore, you need to shoot a pistol while holding it firmly with both hands. During the operation of the weapon, tissue compression occurs in the joints of the hand, which leads to the formation of a torque. Thus, if the shooter is right-handed, then the pistol will “go” to the left. If shooting is performed by a left-handed person, the weapon will move to the right. If the grip of the pistol is not strong enough or the arm muscles are poorly developed, then most likely the “Desert Eagle” will jump up from the strong recoil and hit the shooter in the face. As a result of the rotational moment, the gun turns the cartridge case extraction window towards the shooter and throws it up. As a result, spent cartridges end up in the face. If the Desert Eagle is held correctly, shell casings will fly up past the right shoulder. Using the weapon will be comfortable if you select the correct handle. In addition, owners use other additional means that reduce returns. For example, weapons require special processing of the barrel channel and installation of muzzle brakes-compensators, the task of which is to lengthen the barrel and remove some of the powder gases.

Film gun

We have not found any documentary evidence of the use of a Desert Eagle pistol of any modification or caliber for official purposes. There is an opinion that the pistol was used by Israeli special forces, but its adherents most likely confuse the “Eagle” with the Baby Eagle, a regular 9-mm Jerico 941 pistol produced by the same Israel Weapon Industries. Another version says that the Desert Eagle was used by detachments of Canadian rangers to finish off wounded animals. This option has a right to exist - it’s easy and even humane to kill a dying and suffering animal, even a large one, such as a wild boar, elk or even a bear, from DE (“just to be sure”).

In any case, the Desert Eagle is inferior to almost any pistol as a service weapon. It is inconvenient to carry with you, especially hidden. Strong recoil forces the shooter to think about how not to drop the weapon from his hands, and not how to hit a hiding enemy. Even the legendary power of the Desert Eagle can be written down as a disadvantage: such a pistol is not needed in official activities to shoot “only” at people. Despite this, there is a demand for the pistol, and considerable demand, given the number of modifications that the developer offers on the official website. Apparently, the destiny of the “Desert Eagle” is recreational shooting, pure “babahing” and nothing more.

However, this is not its main purpose. The Desert Eagle is a movie cannon! It was in this field that the monstrous pistol achieved its main successes. If the pistols were alive, then Desert Eagle would have gotten himself an agent in Hollywood long ago. The pistol even has an official “portfolio” - on the Magnum Research website there is a separate section that lists all the films in which the weapon was filmed, which has become one of the main pistols for Hollywood big men. One of its main on-screen “users” is Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is not surprising: any other pistol is simply lost in the powerful clutches of the Austrian big man.

About balancing

Judging by reviews, the Desert Eagle, which has a 6-inch barrel, has insufficient balance if its magazine with cartridges is unlocked. The situation changes for the better after attaching a fully loaded clip to the pistol and sending one round of ammunition into the chamber. Professional shooters can use the Desert Eagle with one hand. However, this shooting unit was originally designed for shooting with both hands.

Background

As you know, hunting with short-barreled weapons is very popular in the United States. It is noteworthy that this type of hunting arose not because of the Americans’ desire for thrills (although this could not have happened without it), but because of completely pragmatic considerations. The fact is that in many areas of the United States, the distance between neighboring houses reaches about half a kilometer and they are scattered over impressive territories. Therefore, when shooting with a rifle, there was a chance of hitting a neighboring house or, even worse, a neighbor. At the same time, no one wanted to shoot small animals such as squirrels with a smooth-bore weapon. Thus, short-barreled hunting weapons began to become widespread, which in the mid-70s became large-caliber, which opened up the possibility of shooting at large animals.

About sizes

Since the pistol, which uses the shortest 6-inch barrel in the line, is up to 26 cm long, it is impractical to use it in urban conditions. Since such a fairly large weapon is inconvenient to carry and remove, there is no demand for this pistol in security structures and among the military. However, the Desert Eagle is very effective as a specialized weapon for outdoor use. This firearm is used to hunt and also repel attacks by wild animals. Due to the fact that the shooting is carried out with ammunition that is too large, weapon designers were forced to increase the handle. As a result, the Desert Eagle is only suitable for those shooters with large palms. Otherwise, not only shooting, but also holding the gun will be problematic.

Positive and negative sides

Positive qualities

• caliber Desert Needle 50 AE is a powerful cartridge capable of penetrating any type of body armor. The pistol is also positioned as a weapon for hunting and sport shooting;
• The aimed shot range allows you to hit targets at a distance of up to 100 meters. For example, similar requirements were imposed on a modern pistol for special forces - SR-1;
• Magnum and 50 AE cartridges have a large weight, high initial speed and kinetic energy, which makes it possible to pierce brick walls;
• appearance. The gun is big. The dimensions are significantly superior to other products on the arms market. This became the reason for the popularity of "The Eagle" in cinema.

Negative qualities

• high weight and large overall dimensions. The downside is an impressive appearance and a gas exhaust system. The pistol is awkward to hold and pull out of the holster;
• strong recoil. Very often a gun is shown in movies, where it is held by a fragile actress. Moreover, it not only holds, but also fires. In reality, after the first shot, the weapon will either fall out of your hands or break a joint. Moreover, this happens not only to fragile girls, but also to seasoned gunsmiths;
• high price tag. The price of the Desert Eagle pistol, depending on the configuration, starts at 2,000 US currency units, which makes it the most expensive production weapon on the market. The cartridges aren't cheap either - $3 apiece.

About technical specifications

1. The Desert Eagle is a type of self-loading pistol.
2. Mark I-VII models, made of aluminum alloy, weigh no more than 1.7 kg. The weight of the steel Mark XIX is almost 2 kg.
3. The overall length of the VII shooting model is up to 26.9 cm, the XIX with ten-inch barrels is 37.4 cm.
4. Shooting is carried out with unitary Magnum 44, 41, 357 and AE 50 cartridges.
5. The pistol operates by removing powder gases. The barrel channel is locked with a bolt.
6. Store type ammunition. The clips contain 7 AE 50, 8 - 44 and 41 Magnum and 9 - 357 caliber ammunition.

Mark VII

This pistol differs from the previous version in the design of the grip cheeks and the firing mode switch. The Mark VII is equipped with a trigger that can be adjusted. Thanks to the Weaver rail, the pistol can be equipped with additional accessories: an optical sight or a laser designator. For this option, barrels of 6, 8, 10 and 14 inches are provided. Shooting is carried out with Magnum 357 and 44 ammunition. In 1991, a batch was released chambered for the Action Express 50 cartridge.

Mark XIX

The basis for this version of the pistol was the Desert Mark VII. The weapon fires Magnum 357 and 44 and Action Express 50 cartridges. It is available in two versions: with 6- and 10-inch barrels. To configure the pistol for use with cartridges of a different caliber, the owner simply needs to change the barrel, bolt and magazine. According to experts, it will not be difficult for a professional shooter to cope with this even during a battle. The pistol barrel contains special mounts for sighting devices.

Jericho 941

The Jericho 941 or Model F is a self-loading pistol produced by Israeli designers IMI. Despite the fact that in the technical documentation the weapon is listed as a Baby Eagle, experts say it has little in common with the Desert Eagle. "Jericho 941" is equipped with a recoil mechanism, reloading of which is carried out thanks to the short stroke of the barrel. Information about what ammunition is used by the Model F is listed in its number. Shooting is carried out with 9 mm Action Express 41 and Parabellum 9 × 19 mm cartridges. Soon, a new model chambered for the 40 S&W cartridge entered the arms markets of the United States of America. However, this did not affect the pistol number in any way.

DIY toy gun "Deagle"

The Desert Eagle pistol is often seen in films and computer games, so many people not only buy toy versions of it, but also make them themselves. The most common options for homemade pistols are paper and wooden models.

How to make a Deagle pistol out of paper? If you show patience and perseverance, then from such a simple material as paper you can make an excellent copy of a military weapon while preserving small details. The paper Deagle gun is made using the free Pepakura Designer program. By loading the gun scans into it, you can see in which places to glue its individual elements. This raises the question: “How to draw a Deagle pistol?” Don't worry, you just need to download and print the diagrams.

Well, how can you make a Deagle pistol from wood, since this material is less pliable than paper? Of course, in the wooden version of the pistol, there will not be such strict adherence to small details. And the Deagle pistol is made from wood in a completely different way. In the simplest version, using a special template, parts are cut out of plywood, which, when placed on top of each other and glued together, create a three-dimensional model.

Very interesting pistols can also be made from Legos. deagle? Quite simple, you just need to be creative and stock up on a good construction set with an abundance of different parts. The photo below is one of the successful examples of the “Desert Eagle” assembled from Lego.

Micro Desert Eagle

It is a new mini-pistol intended for civilian use as a means of self-defense. Produced by the North American arms company Magnum Research. According to experts, this rifle unit is not an independent development of American designers. This model is listed in the technical documentation as Zvi Kevin and is licensed as a Czech pistol. Outwardly, he is completely different from the Desert Eagle. In addition, the Micro lacks a mechanism that is responsible for changing barrels. Today, weapons are produced in only one version - for ACP 380 ammunition.

Interesting facts about Deagle

• The deagle was slightly strengthened during updates in 2015. But in general, initially, starting from 1999, it practically did not change its technical characteristics;
• Due to the fact that gamers simply adore it, Desert Eagle has a lot of driving (not all here):
  Deagle;
• Desert;
• Second WUA;
• Eagle;
• Hammer;
• Eagle.
• The game has various achievements, such as “Desert Eagle Expert”, which is available to almost 18% of game owners. This is by far the largest figure;
• over 5 reload animations throughout history
• The maximum number of people you can kill in a row (to the head) is 3. The fourth one is also hit, but it will not be to death.

About the wind version

The combat “Desert Eagle” served as the basis for the creation of a 4.5 mm air pistol. Shooting is carried out with lead bullets. The projectile flies out of the barrel channel at a speed of 130 m/s. The pneumatic Desert Eagle is equipped with a 12-gram CO2 cylinder. The rifle unit has a power of up to 3.5 J. The barrels are made of metal, the bodies are made of plastic and metal alloys. The drum type clip contains up to 8 bullets. The total length of the pistol is 27.5 cm, the rifled barrel is 14.5 cm. A Blow Back scheme is provided for the pneumatic gun. The product uses a double-action trigger mechanism. To fire a shot, you must first cock the trigger. You can also shoot from self-cocking. You can purchase blowguns for 900 rudds. The “Desert Eagle” is equipped with a plastic case, instructions in Russian, a Picatinny rail, a spare drum and a special key for working with the priming screw.

Description of the traumatic pistol

The replica of the original Desert Eagle has the following features:

• the bolt carrier is made of plastic composite;
• a one-piece handle made of overlays that fits comfortably and firmly in the palm of your hand;
• the bolt stop lever is stationary and performs decorative functions, providing a more complete resemblance to the original weapon;
• The release button does not work.

Compared to the original, the traumatic pistol is lighter due to the fact that some of the elements are made of plastic. The release of this model has a double stroke. After pressing, the drum first rotates, after which the shot occurs. These processes take place without delay. The descent stroke has the following characteristics:

• soft;
• long;
• requires the application of effort before the next platoon.

The traumatic pistol also supports the option of pre-cocking the trigger, after which, when pressed, a free stroke of 12 millimeters in length is observed. During the shot, the bolt frame moves. Therefore, you do not need to cock the hammer to fire. However, this model cannot be used to set the shutter delay in case of lack of cartridges.

The traumatic Desert Eagle's drum can hold up to eight lead bullets. Charging is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Lower the bolt lock lever, activating the spring-loaded box.
2. Install the drum into the hole that appears.
3. Move the box to its original position.

To install the gas cylinder, you will need to unscrew the clamping bolt (included with the gun) and place this component in the appropriate compartment. At the end of the procedure, the part should be punched.

By default, the traumatic “Desert Eagle” is complemented by a stationary front sight and an adjustable rear sight. To adjust the latter, you need to loosen the fixing screw. The rear sight and front sight of the injury perform decorative functions. Both parts are painted black, which makes aiming difficult.

Desert Eagle Oxide Blaze

Judging by numerous reviews, the computer game Counter Strike is very popular among gamers. Among the various firearms options, players appreciate the Desert Eagle Oxide. In one of the parts, namely CS:GO (Global Offensive), the Arms Deal update has been introduced. It consists of special StatTrak technology. The Desert Eagle is considered an expensive and very powerful iconic pistol. Judging by numerous reviews, mastering this weapon is not at all easy. Desert Eagle Blaze has high accuracy when shooting from long distances.

Thanks to the Stat Trak counter used, the weapon owner can track certain points already completed in the statistics. A pistol with this technology can be purchased at the playground or found in a case. Desert Eagle Oxide Flame, which supports Stat Trak, allows you to record the number of kills performed with a particular weapon. Unlike knives, on which information about killed opponents is scrawled, in firearms the information is displayed on an orange display. To see it, the player needs to press the F key. If the enemy has taken possession of the firearm, then the message Error will appear on the owner’s display.

Popularity in games and movies

The Desert Eagle is very popular in movies and computer games. DE has been seen very often in various action and fantasy films since the mid-1980s. Since 1984 and Year of the Dragon, films in which Desert Eagle has starred have included the Robot Cop trilogy, Predator 2, Eraser, Commando, Alien vs. Predator, Underworld, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and a huge number of lesser known ones. In particular, the Desert Eagle was the service weapon of agents in the famous Matrix trilogy. This popularity is a result of the large size, striking design and large caliber of this "Hand Cannon". Thanks to the same qualities, Desert Eagle is also popular in the computer gaming industry. It is present in such hits as Counter Strike, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Soldier of Fortune, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Jagged Alliance 2, Far Cry, STALKER, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare, Xenus, Hitman, Fallout and many other games that use firearms. Let me clarify once again regarding the use of DE as a combat weapon for special forces - this is a myth and nothing more. The DE was and remains a very original sporting and weekend shooting pistol.
