There is nothing subtle about the Desert Eagle .50 AE or 44 Magnum...but who wants subtle?

The Desert Eagle has been around awhile, but it's always been a cult favorite thanks to movies, video games, and the fact that it was the first .50-caliber handgun on the market since muzzleloaders stopped being a regular thing. We took one of the latest generation guns from Magnum Research to the range to see what's what.

The first thing to know about the Desert Eagle is that it doesn't work like any other handgun. It's gas-operated instead of being recoil-operated like most semi-auto handguns. The barrel is fixed, with a gas port under the barrel. The gas sends the slide back, rotating the 7-lug bolt and ejecting the spent case.

The other unique aspect of the Desert Eagle is the .50 AE cartridge. .50 Action Express is the first .50-caliber cartridge invented for a handgun, which is still the most powerful magnum cartridge for semi-auto pistols that's being manufactured with any serious frequency.

Since then, more powerful magnum revolver cartridges have been invented, but a Desert Eagle has the edge in capacity as you can load 7+1 rounds, as opposed to 5 or 6 plus zero.

The .50 AE bullet is typically a 30- or 325-grain projectile, with a muzzle velocity around 1400 to 1500 feet per second, and 1400 to 1500 ft-lbs of energy, depending on the loading. That's twice the energy of hot 10mm, and more than 3 times the energy of .45 ACP.

The Desert Eagle has a single-action trigger, with a slide-mounted safety. The trigger is crisp and light. Pulling it is not necessarily easy, because the gun is not made for those with small hands or strong arms. Recoil is not as bad as you'd think, but it's definitely there.
