Magnum Research Desert Eagle
The ultimate handgun monument to overcompensation is as notorious as the handgun is deadly. Originally designed by Israeli Military Industries, the Desert Eagle is produced under license by Magnum Research. While accurate and powerful, the Desert Eagle is also a very high-maintenance design, prone to jamming at inopportune moments if not constantly babied. No militaries or police departments have adopted this gun due to its excessive size and cost: the gun’s grip is too large for small shooters to get their hands around, and the gun’s four-and-a-half-pound mass makes carrying it an adventure in masochism and concealing the gun an exercise in futility. In addition to the .50 AE for which the Desert Eagle is most famed, the Desert Eagle is also available in .44 Magnum, (Damage 3 [9 again], Capacity 8+1), .41 Magnum (as .44 Magnum) and .357 Magnum (Damage 3, Capacity 9+1).
