First production dates to 1982, and since then has become the go-to high-power handgun for films, television and video games. This is in part due to its large size and menacing appearance - but also due to the high-powered cartridge it fires, the 50 calibre Action Express round. The Desert Eagle is loud, expensive, it kicks like a mule and is completely impractical - but there's no denying it's popularity. In game, the Desert Eagle is a high-power, high recoil handgun - dealing two-hit kills up close without stopping power. It has slightly less power than the Magnum at range - but it does have one more round in the magazine. The defining characteristic of the Desert Eagle has to be its recoil - as far as secondary weapons go, nothing comes close to the recoil of this weapon. This means hitting your target multiple times is very difficult, particularly if you don't wait for the recoil to settle between shots - and to make matters worse the iron sights of the Desert Eagle are misaligned - so hitting even the first shot is troublesome. For this reason the Magnum is a much more common sight - and with good reason. The Desert Eagle is much less effective overall. If you insist on using a single Desert Eagle, or if you haven't unlocked akimbo yet - the key to managing the recoil of this pistol is to moderate your fire rate depending on your range from the target. At point blank range you can fire as fast as your trigger finger will allow - but at middle range you will need to wait until the recoil settles before firing again. With practice and restraint, you can ensure your shots connect, and with Stopping Power the two-hit kill range is quite generous. You don't get much ammunition with the Dese
