.44 magnum or the .50 desrt Eagle? which sounds better to kil a person with?
probably the .50 calibur Desrt Eagle.

Fuck that shit. .600 Nitro Express is where it's atAmrasCalmacil said:I only know one game I know is realistic that has one in, that being SWAT4.
On topic though: It looks cool, has a powerful round and is well known?
Not as awesome as this though, we need more guns like these in games.
I'm sure you wouldn't want to be hefting that about in a close quarters situation, but who's really going to fuck with you?
Not to mention that .500 magnum rounds are for killing God.
Is it just me, or does that look like it can fire lasers?Wadders said:Because despite it's impracticalities, it's sexy as fuck.
And because games are games, not real life.

They are also next to impossible to suppress. You either need to do some very, very, very heavy (possibly illegal) moding or purchase one of the rare types that can be suppressed. Though I think using a suppressor on most guns is illegal out side of the armed forces or the police. Also I doubt you'd ever need it suppressing for what you'd need it for.crimson5pheonix said:And everything else on them are great. Which makes them great personal defense weapons.Mirokunite said:Reloading, and the amount of bullets they hold for two things...crimson5pheonix said:Why aren't revolvers great in real life?SnowdensOfYesteryear said:Again, another kindof unrealistic thing - revolvers aren't that great in real life... though I agree. Really classy, and awesome. And stuff like that.Amnestic said:Because the developers know that the players will all jizz themselves of a 'Deagle'.
Personally I'll stick with revolvers. Way~ more classy.
Don't they make ammo clips of sorts for them now that hold the 6 bullets in the correct position, you slide it in, and break the clip part off and are good to go?Brawndo said:Who says? Revolvers may have a small capacity and take longer to reload - but they are extremely reliable and easy to maintain.
+1. It's MUCH more deserving of the title of "hand cannon"Pyode said:Yea, the Raging Bull in Rainbow 6: Vegas was way cooler than the DE.
This is the only cool gun I want to see in games.Aylaine said:Mmm, because it's cool is my best guess. It's used in a lot of video games as that ''bigger, stronger pistol'' or ''magnum''.
.50 cal AE Desert Eagles are the Bugatti Veyron of pistols, a ridiculous engineering exercise not designed to be economical nor even practical. Still they keep making them because there are enough dumb civilian gun owners that keep paying for them, even if they aren't that interested they know their non-gun friends will be impressed with "wow, you got an ACTUAL Desert Eagle!"Brawndo said:I have fired one - it is very heavy for a handgun, has considerable recoil, a small magazine, and is very uncomfortable and bulky. The Desert Eagle was never designed to be used as combat pistol, it was more of an engineering challenge to see if a pistol could be designed that would actually fire a .50 cal round without breaking. Not a single police or military force issues it that I am aware of, and it is mostly used IRL for shooting competitions or hunting big game.
And yet here is a short list of recent games that include it:
Modern Warfare 1 and 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Grand Theft Auto IV
Counterstrike Source
Far Cry 2
Splinter Cell Conviction
Metal Gear Solid 4
Yes, I mad. I would much rather see other more common handguns, or a nice revolver

"and the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point five O" written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now... Fuck off."Cynical skeptic said:Pretty sure its because of Snatch.
