I bought one of the most ridiculous handguns made.

[Shmee]

How much did it cost? Probably not cheap...still, looks nice in that finish.

The kit I saw with both barrels and magazines was 3.6K.

Here's what I can afford for now.

I had the privilege of shooting one of these once. I'm a little dude with little handgun experience and figured it would have more of a kick. I guess the weight of the gun helped. Scary to think that something so destructive was so easy to shoot.

Huh, yeah I suppose the weight should help, but I have only shot 9mm and smaller I believe, cheap and easy. Do you know what caliber you fired? One of my buddies said he fired a .50AE DE and it hurt his wrist.

Nice.
Shot my FIL's at the range. Touched off a round and everyone stopped to look at wtf was going on.

It's been since the mid 90's so my memory is suspect but I always thought he called it a desert eagle 44 auto mag. I think I remember him saying it was banned or on a list of guns to be banned. This is the same guy who handed me a sawed off shotgun and told me it was a 12 gauge. It was really a 10 gauge with 3 1/2" 00 buckshot and it left a horrible bruise.

I was more apprehensive the first time I fired a Ruger Super Redhawk .44 mag revolver. Neither that nor the DE were as bad (recoil-wise) as I expected. The .44 DE had a touch less kick, but IMO the revolver was easier to fire one-handed. It's no small gun, but it didn't feel so oversized in my hand. I never got to fire the .50AE version of the DE.

EDIT: almost forgot the original comment I was going to make about the most ridiculous handguns... Thompson/Center Contender. Buddy's dad has/had one chambered in .30-30. Talk about a hand cannon, I'm not sure I'd even want to fire that thing.

Is that Trump you are shooting at? I just saw orange and assumed 🤪

nobody at A, check B!!!

AWPs were so lethal down long A. dudes hiding inside the pit on the left of that picture (way down at the end) could body-shot kill anyone they saw.

so i refused to play CS servers unless they had a "no AWP" rule

The most amusing, laugh out loud funny servers to play on IMHO were the 'Knives ONLY' servers, lol. It's been a long time since I played any CS. I own CS, CS:S, and CS2...never played GO or 2 yet, heh.

EDIT: I didn't even realize that GO is what became 2.

Hope OP was wearing foam earplugs AND over the ear muffs at the indoor range.

I myself want a S&W 500 Magnum.

FWIW, I have fired the 50AE and the 500. Like them both.

 

[nOOky]

Not sure what I'd do with something like that. I am more of a plinker and a target shooter, so I prefer capacity and low recoil for fun. I'd shoot it some and hand it back to you though, much like I go out with friends in their boats, then get in my car and let them pay for the boat

I had a similar experience. I think I was 18 or 19 and we were sitting by the river. My sister's friend had her older pot dealer boyfriend with them. He pulled out his long barreled 44 (smith and wesson I believe) revolver. It was intimidating to hold let along shoot. It kicked up a bunch. I was hanging on the best I could and trying not to get hit in the face or drop the gun.

 

[Fenixgoon]

you need a second one to convert it to robocops .22 version

 

[KB]

Ask me anything about it. Hate on it. I don't care. It's 4+ lbs of fun and I love it!

It is a Desert Eagle 44 magnum in burnt bronze finish. I bought a 50AE barrel for it with two 50AE magazines so I can shoot either caliber through it simply by swapping the barrel (takes 5 seconds) and magazines.

Glad to see good trigger discipline.

Oh, so you wanted to be like Lara Croft?

 

[thestrangebrew1]

wait this isn't the gun that @thestrangebrew1 had a finger incident with, is it?

unless i got the wrong guy

Nah that was me but it was a different piece. IDK how to post pics, but it was this one: https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/x-frame-163460. Needless to say I'm not shooting revolvers anymore haha

44 magnum out of a revolver can be pretty brutal especially if it has less than a 6" barrel, I have a Smith & Wesson M29-2 with a 4" barrel that is pretty punishing to shoot. 50AE is on another level as far as recoil and percussion. Shooting 44 magnum out of the Desert Eagle is actually pretty tame but 50AE really kicks quite a bit more.

My son and I went and shot this gun again yesterday along with an 8 3/8" Smith & Wesson M629-1 (manufactured in the 1980s). The Smith shot great, very accurate, fun to shoot. We put about 50 rounds through it and 100 rounds of 44 magnum through the Desert Eagle and then 20 rounds of 50AE.

Friend of mine back in HS (he was older) owned two .50 DEs. He was of the mindset that you should always own two identical of every gun, in case you used one for something and needed to swap a barrel or parts around. For a carry gun that made sense, because if you ever had to use it, the LE would take it and if that was what you were used to carrying you'd want to have one as backup.

Same dude that used to bury ammo and occasionally a firearm at all his friends houses "just in case".
