This is a great vid! "Pussy cat" I held one at the range today. I'll have to shoot it next time to find out what you mean by "pussy cat" I find .45 auto and .357 revolvers to be very easy to handle recoil-wise. Is it really comparable? Most vids make it look tough as nails to make two aimed shots with some speed...
@tharealscrapz - Geek? try disabled veteran who owns and shoots all the real weapons that you use when playing your black ops games. Get a job and buy your own pistol!
its really neccesary the 50 cal. the 44 is too much powerfull too. not so much as the 50 but it kicks and offcours can kills an animal if this gun can be for hunt purposes
@kjsh987 - there is no such thing as enough. as technology improves people can handle more and more recoil, so why not. they used calibers larger than this in the 1700's. the 50 AE is for dangerous animals (protection from or hunting) and is more powerful than the 44 Mag, and it's the largest semi-auto in the world. they make more powerful revolvers like the 500 Mag and 460, but not in a semi-auto. if people thought enough was enough we would not have built bigger than a 22 LR
@weaponeer I'd like to hear were you get your .50ae ammo. we buy them from speed dot or it was gold dot idk but its really exspensive ammo. I shot a large north american whitetail doe with my uncles titanium gold .50ae and boy did it have knock down power. would like to see a 10 inch 44 mag barrel on it so we dont have to spend a lot on the .50ae ammo, right now we have a regular 6 inch barrel. great gun and my personal faverate.
@golfer15963 - I always got it where I could get the best prices. and some times that was direct from mag. research. I plan on getting the ported barrel for my 50 AE, and some time in the future I hope to get the 44 mag conversion
Wow, one monster pistol that can shoot and kill almost anything. I like it and I'm going to get one for myself when I receive my tax refund check this Spring.
The pistol is extremely reliable, but.. it's not a combat round. the recoil prevents a quick followup shot, and the pistol is too large for the combat role
Correct for semi autos. IMI OR Magnum Research, whichever you choose makes a revolver called the BFR that chambers a 500 and 700 nitro. Realistically the 50 action express which is what the 50 cal DE shoots has superior ballistic capabilities so splitting an engine block open is cake for the 50 AE cartridge. I own the 50 and 357.
dude... it was initially an american design, then redesigned, where it was known as the Eagle 357 and redesigned again in israel, and manufactured (initially) in Israel. Then it was known as the Desert Eagle, and after several more years of enhancements they produced the 44 Mag, as well as other calibers.
The are still enhancing the design and now produce a special muzzle brake that is factory installed on your barrel.
It's really less felt recoil than the 44 Mag due to the gas system. but it has massive muzzle jump, with a slow recoil, and not the sharp snap of most magnums. Considering this is a magnum, it's a real pussycat. fire the 454 and you will see what I mean.
haha true true... to someone that knows, expects, and has practice handling recoil, AND having shot weapons with greater recoil, yes, im sure it may be a 'pussycat' for you, but for you average pistol shooter, or anyone that hasn't shot a .50 S&w revolver... it kicks like a bitch! lol
As a fellow owner of a .50 AE Desert Eagle, you will get a massive 3 foot fireball by using 34.5 grains of Hogdon H110 topped with a 300 grain bullet. It's like portable lightning - no joke. Anyway, if you get the chance, try it out one day.
OH, if you port the barrel (drill holes) it is supposed to cut down on recoil thats what alot of people do but the holes allow the burning powder to be seen that is your flash
The recoil is not a big deal at all on the 50 AE. My 357 Mag has a sharper recoil, and the 454's I have fired really let you know you had something. The gas operation on the desert eagle really tames the beast, from a lion to a pussycat.
Now the power (velocity and energy) are another matter! it has some real power to it!
It's about as big as you can get for a semi auto. anything bigger would be too big to hold on to.
it is wierd only you and weapon collector's channel I cannot hear your voice unless i put my volume to full. then the backround noise is loud and your voice is really low... my computer blows :(
I have one in my hand as i write this. The owner is hurting for cash and wants $850 w/ 30 rounds of ammo. It's basic blue and has had about 20 rounds through it. IS IT WORTH IT???????
is the gold version as good as the normal version (i'm talkin .50 AE XIX) as in does it heat up quicker is it less durable less reliable and whatsoever
There are two gold versions.. personally I don't feel they are as durable as the normal finish, but they are a durable finish and at $2.00 a round I dont think you will get it hot enough to notice any major heat
MAy i ask you one thing? What do you do with such a gun except fucking around a little bit at the shooting range. NO OFFENCE there. Just want to know.
Hunting? O_O Poor animals i guess D: Anyways NICE weight. Definetely nothing for skinny guys ^^ The knock back is errrhm MASSIVE for a handgun. Now my problem is that i live in germany where we are NOT allowed to have such guns even if we have the permission to own guns. Our "rights" are limited... I want it to be like in america... D: BUT only when it comes to guns. Not that i want to kill someone. Just to clear that up ^^ Am just a fan ofthese kinds of guns.
It's heavy compared to most other pistols but i find the weight to my liking it's fitting and boasts the "coolness" of the gun.. And the weight comes from the big sturdy barrel and that the pistol is wellmade so it screams quality! :P
Yes so what if an Empty Cartridge hits you, in the eye its not so pleasant. But it wont hurt you. If you seriously think it can hurt you at all you're retarded. A bullet flies at 1000m/s+. A empty cartridge 100m/s-. The shape of the empty cartridge isnt of a form that will pierce your skin, and the speed wont generate enough force to break your skin.
You said that the empty cartridge nails you between the eyes. Can it perice through the skins/bone/flesh the cartrige. Could it kill you or just give you a big big bruse?
it will only hit you if you don't hold on tight. I wear a hat and eye protection at the range just in case. I have been hit in the hat by the brass. it's just a tap on the brim to let you know to hold tighter. It will not break the skin or leave a bruise unless you do something really stupid.
Most people love the 50 AE with the standard barrel. The 10 inch barrel is great if you have a scope on it and are using it for silhouette or hunting. most people just use it for simple target shooting and hunting at 100 yards.
could the flame be caused from humidity or moisture in the powder? I have noticed with mine the older my ammo got the more visible the flame was? I have since started storing my ammo in dry boxes with sillica packets and walla no flame. oh by the way I killed a elk 2 years ago with mine at 196 yds so i'd say its a pretty versitile weapon curtisy of swarofski. You seem to really be knowledgeable about weapons, If the humidity has anything to do with powder burn rate Id be happy to know. Thanx
Humidity and temperature can greatly affect the burn rate of some powders. Some powders are known to have drastic velocity changes based on temp.
think of it as a change in air density, more dense air, faster burn rate, less dense, and a slow burn rate (which causes additional flash/flame due to unburned powder).
unrelated to flash, but related to humidity, I have done some shooting in very humid conditions directly after a rain shower in high heat, but with an AK47, and was surprised that I could see a vapor trail coming off each round as if it had a badly smoking tracer. it was an interesting effect and didn't last long due to changing conditions, but worth remembering as it was an effect I have only seen in high humidity.
lol, hard to explain power burning speeds and how it relates to muzzle flash for non-reloaders, so Anti-Flame summed it up well enough for people to understand in the limited time allowed.
being that ridiculously big, heavy, expensive, and heavy, does it have any practical purposes such as self defense/ combat use or is it just for showing off to your mates at the range?
all weapons of this class such as the 454, and 500 are all large handguns not very practical for CCW use, and just to powerful (over penetration) for a combat weapon. The pistol was designed for hunting (great for bear), silhouette, or just general long range target shooting.
The 500 S&W is more powerful, but it's also a revolver, the 50 AE is a semi-auto and hold more ammo. The 50 AE is the largest semi-atuo in the world, becuase anything bigger and you would not be able to grip it. I have fired the 464 and it stings a bit when you shoot it. The 50AE has less recoil than a 44. In the end the 500 still have more power.
one more thing i live in the philippines i have seen DE here before but i dont know if they have .50 AE ammo here. i read from a magazine that a .50 AE is custom made for DE and the fact that less people here owns one probably it is hard to buy a .50 AE ammo. Thanks for your help!
It's not common ammo here either, only because not many people shoot it, so there is no reason to stock it. I just order it when needed as it's made be several companies in many loadings.
Just want to ask you for a suggestion im thinking of selling my STI TRUBOR GRANDMASTER so i can buy a DE .50 AE. must i sell it or keep it for my self and save money for a DE? which will take 3 or 4 months.
The misconception of the .50AE is ridiculous. I have fired it several times and the recoil is much milder than a .44 mag. The accuracy was poor but the huge holes in the paper were awesome as well as an obscene amount of percussion from the blast.
The gas system is very effective at reducing recoil. I have not have any problem with accuracy, but it could do much better with adjustable sights or a scope.
I bought the Baby eagle which only shares the name, a totally different animal. The accuracy of it is great. I am sure with enough ammo through it's big brother I could get better accuracy, but @ $2 per round, it's a little painful on the wallet to shoot, lol
It's true that the flames are unburned powder. But, it does not mean that it's wasted energy on the bullet. The slower burning the powder the more flame you see, but.. with some loadings the best load is the one using slower burning powder. The trade off is more flash and flame. it's a catch 22.. at night you don't want any flash, but you also don't need much range, during the day the flash is not as much of an issue, but you can gain range and energy.
The amount of flame you will see out of the muzzle is dictated by the powder burn rate. Faster burning powder will burn up before the bullet leaves the barrel so no flame. Flame shooting out the barrel means slower burning powder. And while it is a neat visual effect it means that you are actually getting less bang for your buck as some of the energy from burning of the powder is wasted as a light show instead of being converted into gas and pressure in the barrel.
I knew that, but the factory ammo has a reputation of a fairly slow burn rate, with the resulting flash. 99% of my shooting I want a fast burn rate and as little flash as possible, but for demos.. the flash is much better for pleasing the crowd. I figured I would load up some nice demo rounds this summer as I have the loading dies, and components just sitting here. Then I'll have better demo/video ammo, and not need to use the good stuff
only damm issue is that when I shipped my eagle bad to get it fixed " THEY SHIPPED IT BAD THE SAME BROKEN WAY " So I had to fix the junk gun myslef. I like the gun but magnum reaserch sucks there service bites

lol, hard to explain power burning speeds and how it relates to muzzle flash for non-reloaders, so Anti-Flame summed it up well enough for people to understand in the limited time allowed.

being that ridiculously big, heavy, expensive, and heavy, does it have any practical purposes such as self defense/ combat use or is it just for showing off to your mates at the range?
robby707aus 2 years ago
all weapons of this class such as the 454, and 500 are all large handguns not very practical for CCW use, and just to powerful (over penetration) for a combat weapon. The pistol was designed for hunting (great for bear), silhouette, or just general long range target shooting.

the desert eagle .50AE is anything but a practical weapon. its more like a collectors item. lol

It's as practical as the 44 Mag.

how does your wrist feel after shooting it with one hand?

fine.. The recoil is not a sharp snap like the Magnum revolvers

looks like it kicks as much as my cz52
swampAssTurquoise 2 years ago
It kicks a lot harder than my Cz52 (like three times more) but it's still easy to shoot

which is more powerful .357 magnum or the DE .50 AE
ZIPPIBOY12345 2 years ago
50 AE...
weaponeer 2 years ago
It also It surpasses the .44 Magnum cartridge's power 40-50%.
weaponeer 2 years ago
but the .500SW is more powerful than the .50 AE
utubenice 2 years ago
The 500 S&W is more powerful, but it's also a revolver, the 50 AE is a semi-auto and hold more ammo. The 50 AE is the largest semi-atuo in the world, becuase anything bigger and you would not be able to grip it. I have fired the 464 and it stings a bit when you shoot it. The 50AE has less recoil than a 44. In the end the 500 still have more power.
weaponeer 2 years ago
The 44Magnum Hammerhead is much better for hunting.
MG42pillbox 2 years ago
It's not available in a semi-auto, and at $4.00 per round it's a bit expensive.
44 Mag Hammerhead 310grain bullet at 1325-FPS
50 AE 325grain bullet at 1400-FPS
The 50 AE has better performance, and you can carry a total of 8 rounds rather than 6.
For revolvers the 454 and 500 have even better performance.

one more thing i live in the philippines i have seen DE here before but i dont know if they have .50 AE ammo here. i read from a magazine that a .50 AE is custom made for DE and the fact that less people here owns one probably it is hard to buy a .50 AE ammo. Thanks for your help!
micovillano 2 years ago
It's not common ammo here either, only because not many people shoot it, so there is no reason to stock it. I just order it when needed as it's made be several companies in many loadings.

HOLLY COW!!!!!!!!!!! The BASS sound of the gun made my heart beat faster. God i want 1!!!!!
micovillano 2 years ago
Just want to ask you for a suggestion im thinking of selling my STI TRUBOR GRANDMASTER so i can buy a DE .50 AE. must i sell it or keep it for my self and save money for a DE? which will take 3 or 4 months.
micovillano 2 years ago
save your money... The STI TRUBOR is a fine pistol, and two pistols are better than one.
weaponeer 2 years ago
The misconception of the .50AE is ridiculous. I have fired it several times and the recoil is much milder than a .44 mag. The accuracy was poor but the huge holes in the paper were awesome as well as an obscene amount of percussion from the blast.
LouisianaAKman 2 years ago
The gas system is very effective at reducing recoil. I have not have any problem with accuracy, but it could do much better with adjustable sights or a scope.
weaponeer 2 years ago
I bought the Baby eagle which only shares the name, a totally different animal. The accuracy of it is great. I am sure with enough ammo through it's big brother I could get better accuracy, but @ $2 per round, it's a little painful on the wallet to shoot, lol
LouisianaAKman 2 years ago
I love my baby eagle and shoot that at longer distances than my Desert Eagle.

The audio is great. It scared me the first time you shot. I wasn't expecting a sound like that to come out of my little ass computer speakers.

The 50 AE always just misses you. If you shoot two handed the Cart. gets even closer, and most people end up getting hit with the cart.

is it true when you see a flame the slug isnt at its highest fps potential? its wasted powder
iloveallecchianime 2 years ago
It's true that the flames are unburned powder. But, it does not mean that it's wasted energy on the bullet. The slower burning the powder the more flame you see, but.. with some loadings the best load is the one using slower burning powder. The trade off is more flash and flame. it's a catch 22.. at night you don't want any flash, but you also don't need much range, during the day the flash is not as much of an issue, but you can gain range and energy.

iv seen the ones on MRs webpage but they only have one set. iv seen a set of grips that had the eagle on it but i dont belive they are on MRs page???

Personally I would go with the rubber finger grooved grips to help control the torque during recoil

wtfBBQ13 2 years ago
The amount of flame you will see out of the muzzle is dictated by the powder burn rate. Faster burning powder will burn up before the bullet leaves the barrel so no flame. Flame shooting out the barrel means slower burning powder. And while it is a neat visual effect it means that you are actually getting less bang for your buck as some of the energy from burning of the powder is wasted as a light show instead of being converted into gas and pressure in the barrel.
sshuravesky 2 years ago
I knew that, but the factory ammo has a reputation of a fairly slow burn rate, with the resulting flash. 99% of my shooting I want a fast burn rate and as little flash as possible, but for demos.. the flash is much better for pleasing the crowd. I figured I would load up some nice demo rounds this summer as I have the loading dies, and components just sitting here. Then I'll have better demo/video ammo, and not need to use the good stuff
