Desert Eagle, USA-Israel 1982, nickel plated

Description of the Product

The Desert Eagle is a particularly robust semi-automatic pistol that fires the largest ammo you can buy for handguns. Designed in the United States and manufactured in Israel, this pistol is the most powerful magazine-fed, self-loading pistol commercially available. The downside of the weapon is its size and weight, but when seeking maximum impact force, there is nothing that comes close to the Desert Eagle.

What makes the Desert Eagle special is that the pistol charges itself in a gas-piston-like manner, like large rifles, using gunpowder pressure to move the piston and reload the weapon. Pistols do not use this method because it makes the weapon large, but the positive side is that it is this feature that allows the use of larger ammunition in this pistol.

Because maximum impact power is often not the most important feature on the military side, this weapon, despite its effectiveness, is not used by any armed force or police unit. However, the Desert Eagle is, due to its stylish outer shell and efficiency merits, one of the best known civilian weapons, which continues to be manufactured and that can be found throughout the world.

This heavy-duty pistol is a familiar sight from movies, games and TV series. It makes an appearance e.g. in the game series Grand Theft Auto, Far Cry, Call of Duty, and Counter Strike, and in films this gun has been used by all classic action heroes from Stallone to Schwartzenegger and from Van Damme to Bruce Willis and Keanu Reaves.

• This gun is an exact replica of the original. The replica matches the original in size and weight, and the main mechanisms of the weapon are working. The weapon can be cocked and dry fired like a real one. The slider moves and the magazine can be removed. Due to the materials used, the mechanisms cannot withstand continuous cocking and firing for long periods.
• Cast metal has been used to make this replica weapon. The handle plates are plastic. Zamac differs from steel in many respects, so the structure of the gun does not withstand pressure, it cannot be used to fire cartridges, nor can it be converted to a functional weapon by any means. The magazine differs slightly from the original, so that it cannot be used with a real gun.
• Replica guns such as this do not require permits in Finland, nor in many other countries. However, since the gun looks real, it should not be carried in public.
• A replica gun is perfect for historical re-enactment, on a theater stage, in film productions, for collectors of historical memorabilia, and as decoration.
• Length: 27 cm
