Just stop, you suggest that I know nothing about guns and then bring up the Jericho 941 in a discussion about the functionality of the Desert Eagle. Out side looking a bit like the Eagles and a late addition name slapped on by the distributor the Jericho has nothing to do with the Desert Eagle and internally is far closer to the CZ pistols.

Which brings up the next problem with what you've said, while its true that the IDF has made use of the Jericho I can find no evidence that it has ever fielded a true Desert Eagle variant.

Also lets get something straight we are talking about the Desert Eagle presented in the match at that is the large frame .50 cal variant. So stop with the micro Desert Eagles don't weigh much crap. All you are trying to do is muddle the issue so you don't have to admit you are wrong.

So to be clear using the model of weapon obviously intended by Spartan 119 the Eagle weighs twice as much as the 1911 and 4 pounds + is heavy for a pistol any way you cut it.

As for jamming issues. Just using the same operation as an AK doesn't mean a weapon is going to be super reliable a lot of sub par weapons have copied off the AK over the years. By all accounts. With out just the right ammo, excessive cleaning, and even the right grip the Desert Eagle is prone to jamming.

Which brings us to your p.s. Do you understand the irony in telling me forums aren't reliable in what amounts to a forum. As I said though its not just forums. Its people I know, magazines, books, gun sites, gun reviews etc. Basically anybody that gets their information from the real world and not "Call of Duty". Then were back to your their all different crap, that while true should be made a bit more obvious by the stats Spartan 119 listed and regardless the micro aside any of the true Desert Eagles are still about twice the size of your average pistol.

I'm sorry it baffles me how you can look at the Desert Eagle and not realise given its large size that it's gonna be heavy or for that matter akward to shoot, I don't know maybe you've got Andre the Giant hands, but a weapon that big is gonna be awkward for most regular sized folks, when its size and power make it hard to handle. Its gonna be clumsy.

So a quick recap, your attempt to muddy the issue by bringing up the Jericho just proves that you have no idea what your talking about and other then that, you proved this further by saying the Desert Eagle is used by the IDF.

Look I get it you like the Desert Eagle and you should they are neat and they make a big boom. That and I'm sure they are rather usefull in what ever game you've shot them all in, that aside what I've said from the begining holds true, thay are not a practical combat weapon. They are heavy ( please don't try and deny this ), they are big ( also rather provable ), they are clumsy ( dictated by size, weight, and power ), by almost all accounts outside of you unrealiable and they are not in use on the battle field, out side of video.

P.S Just for the sake of clarification you realise their are truck load of 1911 variants to right?
