Can I use the Desert Eagle for self-defense?

Yes, but its large size and heavy recoil make it less practical than smaller handguns for most defensive uses.

What calibers does the Desert Eagle support?

Common calibers include .50 AE, .44 Magnum, and .357 Magnum, offering high stopping power options.

How does the gas-operated system work in the Desert Eagle?

It uses gas pressure from fired rounds to cycle the action, reducing recoil compared to traditional blowback designs.
