− | The | + | The Desert Eagle is a semi-automatic handgun notable for chambering the .50 Action Express, the largest and most powerful centerfire cartridge made for magazine-fed, self-loading pistols. It is also available in .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum, and can be swapped between calibers by simply changing out the barrel and magazine. |
The Desert Eagle uses a gas-operated mechanism normally found in rifles, as opposed to the short recoil or blow-back designs most commonly seen in semi-automatic pistols. The advantage of using a gas-operation system is that it allows the use of far more powerful cartridges than traditional semi-automatic pistol designs, allowing the Desert Eagle to compete in an area that had previously been dominated by magnum revolvers. The gas system is the reason for the large size of the Desert Eagle, and it also discourages the use of unjacketed lead bullets, as lead particles sheared off during firing could clog the gas release tap, preventing proper function.<ref name = "Desert Eagle Flannel Daddy">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK21F7Wy7uc Garand Thumb video on the Desert Eagle]</ref> | The Desert Eagle uses a gas-operated mechanism normally found in rifles, as opposed to the short recoil or blow-back designs most commonly seen in semi-automatic pistols.
