Pneumatic gun Desert Eagle

Back in 1983, Magnum Research developed a magnificent combat pistol, called Desert Eagle. These weapons very quickly gained recognition in their homeland (in the US), and after and throughout the world. Its distinctive feature is the possibility of rapid conversion (replacement of the trunk, magazine and shutter) even in the field.

Since there were very many people who wanted to have such a (or at least similar) pistol, the German company Umarex undertook the creation of a gas-ball version of this weapon. Also it has appeared in a prize. Since such Desert Eagle is pneumatic, a license is not required for its acquisition and carrying, and this fact substantially increases the number of customers.

So, Germany became the birthplace of a weakened version of this famous weapon. Due to its external similarity to the original, the famous German quality and good technical characteristics, the pneumatic gun Desert Eagle quickly gained fame and recognition. He was bought (and continues to be bought) by people of all ages from different countries.

So, about the characteristics. Desert Eagle is a fairly large pistol - its weight exceeds one kilogram, and the length is 28 centimeters. Because of such dimensions, hands with small hands, especially girls, will be difficult to hold it with one hand, so when using this weapon it is recommended to use two-handed shooting.

The body of the pistol is mainly made of plastic, although there are also metal parts. Such material has both pluses and minuses. So, it is thanks to plastic that the weapon is not too heavy, but, on the other hand, plastic also makes it more fragile.

The Desert Eagle is equipped with a long enough (14.4 centimeters) rifled barrel and a magazine containing eight lead bullets (4.5 millimeters). The speed of the bullet in this pistol is quite large - 137 meters per second, the trigger stroke is relatively smooth, two-stage.

The bullet is driven by a gas canister weighing 12 grams, the accuracy of the shooting is excellent.

This weapon has its pros and cons. To start, perhaps, should be with pluses, as there are much more.

The Desert Eagle gun not only looks great, but it is also very handy - it lies perfectly in your hand, and the presence of two drums in the set allows you to very quickly make 16 shots, which is very important for both shooting and self-defense. In addition, it is one of the few pneumatic models that shoot heavy lead bullets and is equipped with a convenient adjustable sight.

Another plus is the convenient opening of the tank, in which there is a can of gas. Yes, and gas consumption is relatively small - one portion is enough for fifty shots. It is impossible not to mention the high accuracy of shooting and the decent speed of the bullet.

But you can not forget about cons. So, Desert Eagle costs a lot of money, and therefore not everyone can afford to purchase it. In addition, this pneumatic weapon is a full-size copy of the combat, and therefore is not designed for small and weak hands. In addition, the sight and the aiming bar are not sufficiently contrasted, which makes it difficult to aim, and the plastic case is not strong enough.
