The Desert Eagle was orignally made by the same people who brought us legendary weapons such as the Galil *cough* AK-47 clone *cough* and the Uzi.

The reason why its not used by any militaries is because it requires a extreme marksmen ship. Its not a pistol, Its a 105mm howitzer compared to a 9mm (19th century cannon).

In practical term the Desert Eagle is fun to use with, it can blow off tires off cars. Problem is however is that its useless in miltary terms, its hard to use and the recoil can blow few people on there asses. Also one desert eagle with extra magazines are equal to 2 glocks 17s or P226s with a few magazines to spare.

Anyone questioning the revolvers? Revolvers are ussually to long to reload (unless you have a speed reloader, and we dont want overkill (even though a .50 cal Sniper thats now currently being used as a weapon to blow up technicals in god forsaken countrys is totally fair)
