Is it REALLY that bad?

>>32153767
It's not bad but it is pretty much just a novelty gun.

>>32153772
People like to complain about it jamming but I've never had it jam on me.

The only issue with jamming is if you are constantly rolling up with each shot like it's a big-bore revolver. The manual teaches you the proper method of firing the gun. It's MEANT to be wrangled, you're supposed to dig in and hold it yourself.

With the muzzle brake they offer with it now you could do follow-up shots as easy with it as a .45 ACP.

Really? No. It's actually rather neat, a large caliber gas operated handgun like such. However it is incredibly expensive, impractical, and unnecessary. It's good for nothing besides being a cool toy, or a proof of concept back in the 80's or whenever the fuck its from. There's really no good reason to own one besides the fact you have too much money, and you wanted it. Which I suppose isn't a bad thing. But short of winning the lottery, or a raffle you won't see one in my safe.

>>32153767
It's good for what it was designed for in its original caliber (.357, and a checkpoint gun to shoot into unarmoured vehicles). Its weight made it more controllable when fired rapidly than a revolver chambered in a round that large. Then, someone started arguing it had to be able to shoot through more and more material, and they dialled up the caliber to .44mag and .50AE, losing the initial controllability. It was never meant to be a carry gun or a combat sidearm, and only became so in the public eye after movies, tv and video games began treating it like one.
tl;dr a good VCP gun, bad carry/combat gun

>>32153799
>not wanting to put people down when you double-tap them.

>>32153805
I was under the impression .50AE was the best caliber for it because it fed the best into the gun.

>>32153822
Unless the caliber pushes out more than 1,000 ft/bs muzzle energy consistently, you probably will.

With a .50AE Deagle, not only do I get that kind of muzzle energy, but in a (relatively) easy to control package.

Why there is no SMG's in .44 or .50 AE? Compared to handguns, SMG's in such calibers can actually be practical.

True, but there's also no way to do follow-up shots with it without breaking your wrist.

So if multiple attackers come at you, you better hope they line up.

>>32153972
.44 Magnum doesn't feed well.

I'm pretty sure weight is kind of a big thing for the .50 AE thing, along with SMGs just not being useful anymore.

Plenty of people hunt with handguns. Hell, in some terrain it isn't even that weird. Such as some places in Iowa where you got enough brush that you won't be shooting farther than 100 yards and you can't legally use a rifle.

I suppose none of that necessarily makes it a "bad" firearm, just a very frivolous one. Still, there are umpteen other novelty guns I would rather drop $1400+ on than a Deagle.

No. It was designed to be a rangetoy and for handgun hunters. Only reason kikes got involved is the fact Magnum Research didn't have any means to produce it in quantity back in the day, so they outsourced production, kikes made best offer. To make it cheaper to produce they also made few minor changes.

I'd carry one if I was the kind of person to dress like the Secret Service do every day.

You basically want to handload to get your best mileage out of it, there's also the .44 Magnum and .357 Magnum

>Too heavy to hunt with
Eat your vegetables.

>more powerful guns, less heavy guns are available if such a sidearm is required for innawoods (IE bear defense)
None are automatic and all have cylinder gap.

>Hard to recommend for a conceal carry since it's bulky, extremely slow on the draw and followup shots will be nonexistant
Not the purpose of the weapon.

>Infact, overpenetration makes it hard to recommend for any defensive situation, be it in public, in the car or at home
Not it's purpose.

>and speaking of home defense; EEEEEEEEEE
Not it's purpose, use hearing protection.

>Recoil is enough to break your wrist
No it isn't, it's 4lbs and gas operated, the .357 has felt recoil comparable to a 9mm pistol, the .44 has felt recoil comparable to .45ACP, the only chambering which has harsh recoil is the .440

>I see they've added a muzzle brake but that only trades out damage on your wrist for EEEEEEEEEE
Those are optional features.

>For anybody who doesn't need to be able to crack an engine block using only a pistol, It's the quintessential meme gun
This meme needs to stop, the Deagle was NEVER EVER meant to shoot at vehicles. It is a sporting pistol through and through, with a niche for handgun hunting and target shooting (it's precise as fuck).

>>32153767
Yes, it's shit. About ten years ago I had my first encounter with it and I was excited to get to shoot such a novelty weapon. So I load it and pull the slide back and immediately know something isn't quite right. The movement in the slide was way too loose, tons of side to side movement, awkward metal on metal interaction. Compared to it's contemporaries, it is a badly designed weapon that isn't meant to stand the test of time.

There are lots of expensive guns. Doesn't make them bad.
>Too heavy to hunt with
It's literally 4lbs. Most people carry rifles heavier than that.
>more powerful guns, less heavy guns are available if such a sidearm is required for innawoods (IE bear defense)
Name one
>Hard to recommend for a conceal carry since it's bulky, extremely slow on the draw and followup shots will be nonexistant
Any decent shoulder holster and a light jacket will conceal it, being slow on the draw is something you practice, and followup shots are perfectly possible granted you're able to actually practice with the gun. This isn't a Smith & Wesson 500, it handles its recoil even in .50AE quite well
>Infact, overpenetration makes it hard to recommend for any defensive situation, be it in public, in the car or at home
Hollowpoints
>and speaking of home defense; EEEEEEEEEE
Applies to any firearm that isn't .22LR or is suppressed. That has more to do with sound physics than the gun itself.
>Recoil is enough to break your wrist
Change your Tampon. It can be bad enough to make the gun fly out of your hands when you aren't use to it but it won't break your wrist.
>I see they've added a muzzle brake but that only trades out damage on your wrist for EEEEEEEEEE
It's optional and frankly, unneeded, even for .50AE

And for the last point, sometimes I just wanna carry an Anti-Material handcannon.

>>32155558
>>32155786
I believe that a .454 Casull revolver is lighter and potentially more powerful. At least that's all I can figure he's talking about for "lighter and more powerful".

As for the wrist breaking and "too heavy", that's complete bullshit. It's heavy for a handgun don't get me wrong, but it isn't too heavy to hunt with and it sure as shit isn't "wrist breaking" for recoil.

.454 is generally be hotter and heavier than most .50AE loads, some .440 loads (well, you can't buy it loaded anymore) can match some .454 loads in speed and weight.

>True, but there's also no way to do follow-up shots with it without breaking your wrist.

I really hate this meme of big revolvers shattering wrists. Are your wrists made of actual glass or have you never actually fired one before? The 500's recoil is pretty significant, but it's not going to fucking pulverize the bones in your arm from shooting it, and with practice you could probably manage some follow up shots fairly quickly. That said it'd be retarded to use one of these for defense unless it's against bears or sumo wrestlers.

Recoil and overpenetration while offering less effective range than intermediate rifle rounds. They'd be extremely difficult if not impossible to control on auto while penetrating all the things you don't want it to (bystanders, houses) and still not penetrating the things you do want it to (badguys in armor), kick substantially more than 5.56 or 7.62x39, and have a max effective range of ~150m due to rainbow trajectories.
