The Desert Eagle is a semi-automatic pistol known for its large size and powerful cartridges. It was originally designed in 1979 by Magnum Research, Inc., and is currently manufactured by Israel Weapon Industries (IWI). The Desert Eagle is available in a variety of calibers, including .50 AE, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, 9mm, .41 AE, .30 Carbine, and .429 DE.
The Desert Eagle is a gas-operated pistol with a rotating bolt. It has a capacity of 7 rounds in .50 AE and 9 rounds in .44 Magnum. The Desert Eagle is a very large and heavy pistol, weighing in at over 4 pounds unloaded. It is also very powerful, with the .50 AE cartridge generating over 1,500 foot-pounds of energy. The Desert Eagle is not a practical pistol for self-defense or concealed carry, but it is a popular choice for target shooting and hunting.
In 2023, IWI released a new version of the Desert Eagle with a switch. This switch allows the pistol to be fired in either semi-automatic or fully-automatic mode. The Desert Eagle with a switch is only available in .50 AE and is intended for military and law enforcement use only.
The Desert Eagle was first developed in 1979 by Magnum Research, Inc. The company was founded by two former Israeli soldiers, Uziel Gal and Yimmi Tzur. Gal had previously designed the Uzi submachine gun, and Tzur was a former commander in the Israeli Defense Forces. Magnum Research, Inc. was originally based in the United States, but it later moved to Israel where IWI is now headquartered.
The Desert Eagle was originally designed to be a powerful handgun for hunting and self-defense. It was initially chambered in .357 Magnum, but it was later made available in a variety of other calibers, including .44 Magnum, .50 AE, and .41 AE. The Desert Eagle quickly became popular with gun enthusiasts and collectors, and it has been featured in numerous movies and television shows.
