Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / August 2006Desert Eagle!!!! WOW, OW......
I know you CS people count on the Desert Eagle .50 cal to vanquish your foes but I had the experience of shooting a real one tonight.... NEVER AGAIN.... :}... Went to the pistol range with Lady Fodder this evening as we do every Wednsday ... (Also a full service retail gun shop)... Had been talking to one of the instructors about HL and found he was a CS fan and owned a DE... We had just bought two Browning Buck Mark .22 target pistols and Carl offered a Magazine+1 (8 shots) from his DE for a box (50 rounds) of my .22s... I naturally accepted... Those guns are HUGE, 4 1/2 pounds and 11" long... First shot was dead center in the bull but I swear it crippled me... The recoil was unbelievable... I shot it four more times and flinched so badly I barely kept it in the silouette... Gave it back with two rounds left... All you CS fans now know why there is a lag in shots... Swear I'm crippled for life.... -- Jack Harney AKA "Cannon Fodder" AKA "Grumpy Old Fart AKA "Certified Senior Curmudgeon" From Civ - 5 "I have the cultural tact of a Cuban Pig" AGHL points for your effort....

Fit nicely in the back pocket of my jeans. :) `Course I couldn't do that with my long slide Hardballer. Villain Yeah I saw that when you put the link in. I'd rather have the Glock .45, just an inch longer but even thinner and lighter. It's surprisingly compact. Still uses 8 rd mag too. McG. > Yep.. Agree... .45 is a great gun but too big to carry..

At least, that one can be USED :) So is it just for show, or do deagles actually have a use, somewhere? ISTM that it only has half the clip capacity of most autos, it's hard to aim, and it hurts the bearer when they fire it. OK, so it will probably take the target apart with one shot if it's hit, but are the chances of such a hit high enough to tolerate its shortcomings? It's not hard to aim, my first shot was dead center in the bullseye but all subsequent shots were in a 10" circle due to my flinching... Most autoloaders .45 and over only carry 8 shots, but it does wake you up once you've fired it.... If I were out hunting for a trophy grizzly and my trusty .375 Weatherby magnum jammed I'd like to have the DE as a back-up... Screw the pain... :) >> That SPringfield .45 ain't nuthin to sneeze at man. But that DE XIX can >> dislocate shoulder joints.

I'd take your peashooter any day for personal [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > target apart with one shot if it's hit, but are the chances of such a hit > high enough to tolerate its shortcomings? Some years ago, a fella and his partner who build custom firearms in their own machine shop for hobby and profit, decided to try to build a carbine for a particular round. They are located in Harris County, Tx. The round they wanted to fit a carbine around is the same round the US Military uses and it is used in the M2 heavy machine gun. It's a .50 calibre round. Yeah, the good old Colt-Browning .50 heavy machine gun. They built the carbine and it works great. And it IS used by US forces all around. It's the Pauza .50, built by Frank Pauza. There's an experiment what worked very well and enjoys commercial success and official military use. The .50 Desert Eagle XIX is big, hugely powerful recoil and LOUD. The DE XIX recoils so hard I suspect because it has a locked barrel with rotating interlocking bolt. When a round is chambered, you may as well be shooting a bolt action pistol. That bolt is not rotated-unlocked until enough gas pressure exists to operate that slide. The round is out of the barrel by then. A 'normal' .45 semi auto's operation is a bit sloppier, nothing locks. The round fires and the pressure pushes the casing against the bolt and begins to move back, round passes gas orifice and pressure there pushes the slide on back. The DE XIX is multi calibre, no matter which size round you fire, it's gonna kick harder than the standard slide bolt pistol. As far as I know, the DE XIX isn't used by any official militaries because it's just TOO much. Hollywood warriors do use it in film. I think maybe they made that pistol because they could. All this info can be googled pretty quickly too. McG. >I think I'd call it a "BFG"...

Did Lady Fodder take a shot with it? She struck me as more than capable of matching the menfolk shot for shot.. :) ___ Neil aka HighVis -- Lady Fodder loves her guns... She was raised with them as I was... No she didn't try it... Not only is she a better shot than me she also has more good sense.... She's shot a .44 Magnum before and knows the DE is a bridge beyond.... She can drop 10 rounds from here 9mm Beretta in a 2 1/2" circle.. best I can do with my .45 ACP or my carry .40 S&W mini-compact is about 4" with a couple of strays beyond... Old age i guess... Sure hope the web between my thumb and index finger heals before next wed...... >Did Lady Fodder take a shot with it?

Gracefully accepted :) The XIX is like a pistol firing a small cannon round. You had to expect mega recoil :) Not like a .45 at all. Hell their .44 magnum is bad enough! That's an expensive 8 rounds CF. Hm. Reminescent of pulling both triggers at once on a 12ga double barrel sawed off ;) And you did that 6 times? Crazy old fart! :) At least you got the cajones to try it! I don't know of any military that actually uses the Desert Eagle .50 as a combat weap. Too expensive, too powerful, too loud :) McG. >I know you CS people count on the Desert Eagle .50 cal to vanquish your >foes but [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > of a Cuban Pig" AGHL points for your effort.... > Gracefully accepted :) |
