The Desert Eagle was designed as a semi-automatic weapon with a large caliber. A pistol with a gas exhaust system receives cartridges from a removable magazine with a larger capacity than a conventional six-shot cylinder.
Production start
The history of the development of the first Desert Eagle chambered for the .357 Magnum began in the late 1970s, immediately after the formation of Magnum Research. After obtaining the first patents and prototypes in the early 1980s, the Israeli company Israel Military Industries launched mass production of the first prototypes. The final name of the gun was established in 1985, when it was possible to determine the form and deal with all the technical solutions.
Desert Eagle in games
In Counter Strike Global Offensive, one of the cheapest pistol skins is the Desert Eagle Meteorite, which does not prevent it from being beautiful and attractive to many gamers. The cheapest shell costs only 33 rubles. The Desert Eagle Meteorite skin has three color options: Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested. In low-budget games, the name of the gun is often masked under various pseudonyms, sometimes not even found on the real arms market. The reason for this is the expensive copyright on the gun, but experienced players are still able to distinguish the original beloved by all. The digital version of the weapon reflects the real power of steel. Despite the small store, high slaughter and the ability to kill with one “headshot” overshadow the shortcomings of the pistol.
The reason for the media of weapons
He is expensive, too heavy and completely impractical. Desert Eagle is definitely not the best gun, but it is extremely popular. It often flashes literally everywhere: in hundreds of films, TV shows and computer games. So how did such bulky weapons become so canonical? Why is Deagle a shooter brand, and does more always mean better?
Like some fashion accessory, it had many options for appearance, the most restrained of which is black. There are also three chrome versions with varying degrees of gloss - glossy or bright nickel, as well as a 24-carat gold version and the most durable titanium case. If both gold options are not ostentatious, there is one more - with tiger stripes.
It is undeniable that, in addition to various variations of the coloring, the gun became famous for its strong leap in power, due to the fact that it was the very first to be adapted to a special .50 Action Express cartridge with a weight of as much as 25 g for semi-automatic large-caliber pistols. The 50th caliber further enhanced the characteristic features of this weapon, which ultimately led to such popularity in action movies.
