Desert eagle. First gun.

Have fun paying for the ammo. Its expensive has hell.

My advice, start with something smaller, 9mm or .45 as far as pistols go, 1911 is the way to go in my opinion.

Lmao

Okay I'm sure it probably appears as a troll thread to someone knowledgeable but what are the actual cons of owning a desert eagle as your first gun? (besides expensive ammo)

>>31965889
> Shit capacity
> Unreliable
> Expensive ammo means little practise
> Too much recoil

>>31965901
Bingo! Not to mention it is useless unless you're in a all-out battlefield.

If you're in a self defense situation, you'll obliterate your attacker while also killing 2 or 3 more people from your bullets shooting through multiple brick walls behind your attacker. Lol.

>>31965889
The real problem is, with a gun like that as your first, you're going to teach yourself some really bad habits that will be hard to break going forward

Where do I start if I wanna own firearms? Join a hunting club eventually later and have my own weapons

I would eventually like to, especially now given the election but I'm stuck here as of right now. I know guns are obtainable here but a lengthier process
I just don't know much about it yet

>>31965863
Not the worst choice, but close to it.
The recoil will beat you up and there's the possibility of developing a reflexive 'flinch' when firing, that might be hard to knock out of you later on. I tend to start teaching people on .22, .38 or 9mm, they learn around the peculiarities of marksmanship first, then later when they're confident with the ability to aim and control what minor recoil there is- we have a look in at stuff like .357, .44 and .45

There's a lot of decent guns in 9mm that will see you right and for a fraction of the cost of the big arse shiny gun, if you're on the cheap something in .38 wheelgun will do just fine as well for learning to shoot.

>>31965901
>deagle
>unreliable
pick one

OP, what you'll want to do is rent one and try it out on the range.

Then rent a 9mm and try it out.

Deagles are fun, but not for everyone. There are a lot of classified ads in the US saying "I bought this for $1600 and shot it twice, it's not for me. "

>>31965863
Hey norther neighbor, good to see you start looking into your first gun.
I own several Desert Eagles, and have a small stockpile of 50AE (ammoseek helps with odd calibres), and still have to deter you from getting this as your first fun.
It's about as reliable as CNNs' presidential predictions. I've fed each of mine different ammo types, put them in various sized hands, with different levels of shooting experience and the things just don't function well. It's a novelty at best and an irresponsible choice at worst.
If you just want one because Snatch was an awesome movie or because you like Counter-Strike then go for it and have fun with the thing. But if you're looking for a first firearm to set you right into the world of guns, this is one to come back to later.
Hope your search goes well, friend!

The desert eagle in .50ae is an incredibly temperamental pistol. It is fun as fuck to cycle mags through but if your stance is a bit wrong it won't cycle at all. Sometimes even when you're standing right it still doesn't cycle. The carbon buildup is unlike anything I've seen on any of my guns and it requires much more frequent cleaning than any of my other guns. The recoil is not as big as you'd think, it's very manageable but the real problem is the reliability. It isn't reliable. Also if you're thinking of concealed carry, you're gonna need to wear a thick coat at all times which is probably not an issue for a Canuck but it is for me as an FLfag

Fellow Canuck, you'll be paying several hundred for a range membership every year, the deagle is several thousand to purchase, and the ammo is $50 for 20.

Every shot, every crappy shot before you get good, will cost $2 per trigger pull.


Get 9mm, hell get 22lr and have fun there first.
Learn the basics of properly aiming and using a semi auto first.
If money is no object, buy a 9mm or 22lr at the same time as your deagle to learn on.

Jericho 941 is baby deagle in 9mm ;)

Desert Eagle is not practical for anything.

Get an M91/30 or SKS-45 for your first firearm.

Ideally, get a Desert Eagle never.

I own a deagle and its the best thing I have ever done.

Man that's just retarded. Get a gun you can actually use. Just feeding this meme machine is outrageous. You can buy two match .308's for every one .50AE, And the .308's are actually useful for something.

Hell man get a .22 and learn how to shoot first so you're not literally throwing away $2 every time you pull the trigger and miss cause hurrr durrr degal brand degal first pistol.

i think my DE is my favorite gun. i would recommend buying one, but i dont know about one as your first gun.

I didn't know you could buy guns in australia?

>>31967889

what i hated most about the deagle was the sheer amount of force you had to apply to do basically anything with it. the slide release pretty much needs two hands to comfortably work.

>>31966717
Well a .22 bolt gun is a great starting point, since it's basically exempt from all laws if you're allowed to have guns at all.

>cheap ammo means lots of practice
>gun itself is cheap and parts are everywhere
>bolt action, so no soccer-moms or fudds on your ass 24/7
>light and easy to store, no real hassle to clean either
>easy to learn on, low recoil so flinching won't be an issue when you get larger calibers

Not much else to say, but I'm sure they're as easy to get in Canada as they are in the U.S.

I'd suggest Tikka as a reputable brand, but cheap .22s aren't nearly as bad as cheaply made larger rifles.

>>31967966
Ever tried this thing called regular exercise?

>>31968012
A lot of people like to recommend .22s for starter guns but I personally find .22s boring as fuck and would instead recommend a 9mm pistol or .223/5.56 or bigger rifle instead

>>31968028
Nigger I'm stacked and even I need to get a good grip before I can move the release.

Oh hey, I had a good friend who was a professional furniture mover. Yeah, dude was pretty fucking strong, and an awesome fellow to drink with, but terrible to game with. He'll beat you at everything ever, every time. I miss that Native bastard; haven't seen him in over a year now at least. Like a brother to me, he was.

>>31968049
Well, you're still weak as shit then, Mr. girly hands.

>>31965984
Is this satire? .50AE isn't the same as .50BMG. Fuck, I hate underage niggers like you.

Nah, neither of his names start with a J, but I'm sure Jake is awesome. As it happens though, that's the nickname of the main character in the novel I'm writing. His real name is actually Charlie.

I lied, it's not Charlie at all, it's Jacob, but he prefers Jake, and isn't Native.
