Desert Eagle was designed as a semi-automatic weapon with a large caliber. The vapor-operated pistol receives cartridges from an interchangeable magazine with a higher capacity than a conventional six-shot cylinder.
Begin production
The history of the development of the first "Desert Needle" chambered in.357 Magnum began in the late 1970s, immediately after the formation of Magnum Research. After receiving the first patents and prototypes in the early 1980s, the Israeli company Israel Military Industries launched the first samples into mass production. The final name of the pistol was established in 1985, when it was possible to decide on the form and figure out all the technical solutions.
Desert Eagle in games
In Counter Strike Global Offensive, one of the cheapest pistol skins is "Desert Eagle meteorite", which does not prevent him from being beautiful and attractive to many gamers. The cheapest shell costsonly 33 rubles. The Desert Eagle Meteor skin has three color options: Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested. In low-budget games, the name of a pistol is very often disguised under various pseudonyms, sometimes even not found at all in the real weapon market. The reason for this is expensive gun copyrights, but experienced players are still able to distinguish the beloved original. The digital version of the weapon reflects the real power of steel. Despite the small magazine, the high kill rate and the ability to kill with one "headshot" overshadow the shortcomings of the pistol.
The reason for the media coverage of weapons
It's expensive, too heavy and completely impractical. Desert Eagle is not exactly the best pistol, but it is extremely popular. It often flickers literally everywhere: in hundreds of films, TV shows and computer games. So how did such a bulky weapon become so iconic? Why Deagle is a brand in shooters, and is more always better?
Like some kind of fashion accessory, it had many appearance options, the most discreet of which is black. There are also three chrome versions with different levels of gloss - glossy or bright nickel, as well as a 24-carat gold option and the most durable titanium case. If both gold options aren't flashy enough, there's another one with tiger stripes.
It is undeniable that in addition to various coloring variations, the popularity of the pistol was also brought by a strong jump inpower, thanks to the fact that it was the very first adapted for a special.50 Action Express cartridge with a weight of as much as 25 g for semi-automatic large-caliber pistols. The 50 caliber further enhanced the characteristics of this weapon, which eventually led to such popularity in action films.
