Desert Eagle

Large caliber sidearm

The Desert Eagle is a large, powerful semi-automatic pistol, distinctive for its gas-operated mechanism and ability to fire magnum cartridges.

Its imposing size and appearance have made it a staple of action movies and video games, where characters wield it for dramatic effect: He pulled out a Desert Eagle like he was in a John Woo film.

In reality, its weight and recoil make it impractical for most defensive purposes.
