The Desert Eagle fires cartridges intended for revolvers.. it's not like the Auto Mag, where a special rimless version of the .44 Magnum was made exclusively for that pistol. With the Desert Eagles, the recoil is comparable... although you have a lot of weight to reduce the recoil, you also have a very heavy slide cycling as the pistol is fired.
Power is not determined by the make of the gun, but by the caliber of the cartridge that it fires. The Desert Eagle was made in several calibers. There are revolvers that fire less powerful cartridges, and revolvers that fire more powerful cartridges.
3 different calibers
The Desert Eagle was made in several calibers- one of which WAS the .44 magnum.
No. While Dan Wesson DID make a .44 Magnum revolver, it was not known as a Desert Eagle. IMI made a .44 magnum Desert Eagle Auto pistol, but not a revolver.
Yes
Not necessarily
As said below, the Desert Eagle is not a revolver. It is also not cheap, nor in my opinion an especially impressive handgun except to those that fell in love with video games, and do not shoot real firearms.
No. They're legal in all states, in all calibers available for them.
I'm not sure, but I think it was a Desert Eagle. It may have been a .50 AE, but Desert Eagle pistols are available in a couple of other calibers.
"Magnum" refers to the cartridge, not the firearm. The Desert Eagle fires Magnum cartridges. What you're probably asking is the difference between a revolver chambered for Magnum cartridges, and a Desert Eagle semi automatic pistol. Of the two, the revolver would typically be much more practical.
The DE was made in several different calibers. The speed of the bullet (FPS) depends on which cartridge.
