Desert Eagle

The Desert Eagle was originally designed by Bernard C. White of Magnum Research, who filed a patent on a mechanism for a gas-actuated machine pistol in January of 1983. This established the key layout of the Desert Eagle. It consisted of a gas-operated mechanism abnormally found in rifles, as opposed to the bare recoil or blow-back designs most commonly seen in semi-automatic pistols. A second Desert Eagle patent was filed in December of 1985, after the basic design had been refined by IMI for production, and this is the embodiment that went into production.

• From a functional perspective, the Desert Eagle is added like a little burglarize than a pistol

• Its rotating lock strongly resembles that of the M16 series of rifles, while the fixed gas cylinder/moving piston resemble those of the Ruger Mini-14 carbine (the original patent passed down a captive piston similar to the M14 rifle)
• The advantage of the gas-operation is that it allows the call of far more powerful cartridges than traditional semi-automatic all around designs, and it allows the Desert Eagle to compete in an space that had previously been dominated by magnum revolvers.
