Years ago I had a roommate that was from Ireland. He lived here in the U.S. for a work assignment over the summer. When I heard that he'd never fired a gun, I got ahold of a friend that had a Desert Eagle and several other guns, like a Winchester lever action rifle, some kind of semi-auto Uzi, etc, so he could get the full Hollywood experience, lol. Imagine that this guy's first and possibly only pistol shooting experience is in .50 AE. Anyway, he said it was the highlight of his trip.

[@michaelthompson139]

My father, Alfred J Thompson, was actually the guy who designed the original prototype of the Desert Eagle. He was a mechanical engineer, an avid skeet shooter, president of the Minnetonka Game and Fish Club, and ironically had never been much of a pistol shooter. The only pistol he ever owned was a .22 revolver. Three guys from a startup called "Magnum Research" were searching for a company to design their concept of a magnum caliber semi-auto pistol with interchangeable barrels. My dad was working at a company called "Mehl Engineering" and got the assignment even though he had never designed a gun before. His experience was designing things like Toro riding lawnmowers, a Tonka Toy truck, Litton Microwaves, etc. When the prototype was eventually made, Don Mehl test fired the .357 into a log in their office. My dad brought it home to show my mom and I. I still have some photos of my dad holding it and some pre-launch brochures of the prototype being called just the "Eagle". They originally thought about calling it the "American Eagle" and it wasn't until they decided to have it manufactured in Israel by IMI that the name was changed to "Desert Eagle". My father had been told by the owners of Magnum Research that he would be listed on the original patents as the designer and that he would be given a gun from the first production run - neither of which ever happened. It's disappointing that he never received any credit from Magnum Research for the original design of such a unique and iconic pistol.

[@CallanElliott]

Delayed blowback has lock-up, so it has a locking bolt, simple blowback doesn't. Part of the point of delayed blowback is that you get to have the mechanical simplicity of full lock-up without having to get into the complexities of gas or recoil operation.

[@MrKook]

The Deagle has a rotating bolt hidden in that chonky slide. It also has a gas piston stuck under the front of the barrel. The barrel is fixed. It's basically a rifle action turned upside down and stuck in a pistol.

Not a tack driver per say but more accurate out of box than %95 of other firearms I've owned. Also pretty hard to beat the ammo price of a TT33. I've got big hands though so the DE always felt more natural than any other handgun I've owned. Just my $0.02

Ah, those '90s memories. Back in the day around my circle (ie. poor, junior enlisted Marines), the DE was the coolest gun everybody wanted to own, but no one actually wanted to pay for it. I had the privilege of shooting the .44 version over at the Camp Johnson A-1 pistol range. They opened the range on the weekends for recreational shooting, so I got to see and shoot a lot of different guns. The .44 DE was one of them. It was fun, but the gun was not very liable with the ammo, mostly WWB, that was on hand. I was much more impressed with this one CWO's Anaconda and another Ruger Redhawk that one of my Gunny's had. Of course, I couldn't afford those guns either.

[@halo3zocker]

Fun Video, but a safety advice if I may: If you swing the Revolver cylinder close with a cowboying jab of the wrist, like you did in the Intro (Minute 0:44) and later in the Video (Minute 13:28). Specially with a Full cylinder. You could bend your cylinder crane and damage your gun by ruining the timing and headspace/cylinder gab. So guys: Don’t do it, lock the cylinder in the frame by pushing it with your support hand in, not by inertia. But enough "safety & longevity" tips: Great musical score and visuals with the mustache and Hawaii-Shirts, it was excellent entertainment!

The deagle highly impractical but legendary. Although seen as highly impractical I've always really wanted one but what I want more than one of them..... just because it's more practical, and in one of my favorite frame platform and more obtainable since I heard they started making them again not too long ago.... is the Coonan compact 357. Still packs a punch and looks like a 1911. Not a deagle but probably just as cool even if it doesn't pack as much of a punch as the .50 . I don't know I've always just really realy liked the 1911 look.

[@tyrantworm7392]

10mm, .357 without the rim.

[@highlander31527]

He missed one of the best parts. He can just swap the barrels between his guns. The .50AE uses a rebated rim that is identical in size to the .44. The round .50AE was created with just that in mind. The bolt is engineered to handle .50 or .44, or, way back when I bought mine, .440 Cor Bon, a nasty .44 magnum bullet in a necked down .50AE case that moved a 240 grain bullet at 1800 fps compared to the 1300 fps of the standard .44 mag. It was only the .357 that required a new bolt installed. The others just required a different barrel and magazine. He did not mention the polygonal barrel rifling. It's rather unique in firearms too. I spent years testing with different revolvers chambered in .44mag, and the DE consistently gets better accuracy, control, and around a hundred fps faster muzzle velocity with the exact same loads versus revolvers. I blame cylinder gap. The DE does NOT like light loads shot through. Surefire jams. In that respect, revolvers do come out on top.

The .44 we used was a beast. We had to buy 3 types of ammo before she would fire reliably. In the end we were using, and I kid you not, silver bullets, because they were the only ones we had local with high enough grains to reliably cycle and not jam. The .357 we had was a bit better, as there was a better selection of ammo available at the time.

I have a drop holster and a gunfighter belt for the BFR, its quite comfy actually though I need to find a better thigh lanyard. A good dedicated belt rides high on the weak side hip and low on the gun side hip, which distributes the weight well. Desert eagle in a shoulder holster with two mags opposite side to balance the weight is more comfortable and less intrusive than any IWB or OWB holster for a practical sized gun, Id highly recommend trying a shoulder holster for whatever youre carrying, especially in winter.

Ya that’s awesome I can’t wait.

"I have a plan Arthur, I just need a desert eagle chambered in 50. Action express."

[@Oc3anMaster]

I have that exact Desert Eagle in .50ae with the ported front. It's very manageable recoil and one handing it is totally fine, albeit the gun is heavy so the time to aim unless your built like a tank and have a steady arm and hands is rough. The problem I have with these guns is the availability and pricing of the ammo.

[@dontmicrowavecats6410]

LAX Ammo, good stuff at decent prices.

[@danieldeak9141]

5:35 If 9 mil blows your lungs out. 50 AE will rip your skeleton out.

[@caseymurphy244]

Pretty funny stuff. Love the 80s vibe. Being in my mid 50s. Them were my real "golden year's " as far as I'm concerned. Also owning about 13 or so desert eagle's in the last 30 year's. Plus one Auto mag. A couple LAR Grizzlies. 45 3 coonan's .357's. The only problem desert eagle I had was a L5 a few year's back. Pretty unreliable. Plus it blew out the ribs to the muzzle brake. But Desert eagle replaced the Barrel. And didn't charge me for it. 👍🏻

[@AP2020_Outdoors]

@Brandon Herrera just a FYI....DO NOT slam the revolver back into the frame! Kiss that gorgeous Python's crane assembly goodbye!

[@jakeandrews166]

love your videos man it helped me though dark times

[@JackTGreat]

That's not a slide, it's a bolt carrier group. Has the same energy as "that's no moon".

[@choppergunner8650]

I like how Brandon even managed to snag Tommy Vercetti's shirt for extra 80's-ness.

[@vesili2121]

"Let's be honest, this is not what's going to kill me" I started rolling lmao

[@paulbjornsgard2227]

Brandon with a .50 of any size is a must watch #akgnotificationsquad 😂

[@hungolungo]

i see that brandon is being safe with firearms again

[@Duckee_Tenders]

I love how Brandon was more than ready to go slaughter a pack of wild pigs with a Desert Eagle.

[@DrQuagmire1]

i'd probably help him out if I lived in Texas and was nearby somewhere

[@la-li-lu-le-lo9444]

I had a membership a couple years ago with my local range, and got so friendly with the staff from spending so much time (&$$) there. Well, long story short - I literally fired both deagles for free every week. Had to buy most of the ammo but also had to clean and oil these fuckers (especially the .50AE) every. single. Time. And they also are picky about the ammo you use, they like it hot.

[@Silentguy_]

I love the touch of flipping the stock out on your Uzi and then just hip firing it. VERY 80s lmao

[@therussianbias3703]

i wonna see brandon make the most ridiculous deagle he can, custom peacemaker barrel with a massive barrett style compensator, a bipod, a stock and the largest magnification sniper scope he can find with full metal jackets loaded

[@jaxone2639]

I absolutely love not only how much effort you guys put into this video, but how much fun you very clearly had doing it. That's what I love about this channel, you have fun with it (besides cursed gun images of course)

[@guillelazza]

1:17 Was that an 80's cop racial discrimination reference?? LMFAO

[@harrisjordan7492]

I believe so.

[@seancushway6959]

[@lifejuststakesallthefun8796]

Brandon: what are you doing to protect yourself ( realizes he better not give people bad ideas and puts down deagle) Me: to late ( has 3 deagles plated in gold,silver,tacticool. 3:25

[@calebkillie8314]

I know it’s probably second nature to you, but, thank you for practicing the 4 big gun safety laws in your montage and then throughout the rest of the video. Amazing to notice, and see, thanks Brandon, enjoy your weekend!

[@GlazzedDonut]

I would definitely watch this show especially if it was a series

[@Fake_Dude]

Brandon, the most important question I am left with is this: did you already own those shirts, or did you buy them for this video? If the latter, are incredibly bad shirts tax-deductible?

[@BrandonHerrera]

I 100% got them knowing I would do this video

[@LanternOfLiberty]

@@BrandonHerrera OF COURSE you did. 👍

[@LanternOfLiberty]

@@BrandonHerrera Also, you still haven't done a video on my basic training weapon: Kpist m/45 aka Swedish K. I've been an American for almost 25 years and I fucking MISS her. 😟😁

[@partyrobbins3126]

My uncle actually has on occasion concealed carried the .44 desert eagle, went to the shooting range with him once with it and it looked like he was firing a 9mm for an average person

[@Heyitdave]

i love how easy you can rack the thing

[@spenkerdetanker9067]

I'm a european and I recently have become a member of my local range and while anything .50 is illegal unfortunately, one guy at the club has a .44 deagle and it's absolutely ridiculous

[@NinjaEnShort]

I'm actually still wondering if the loss of pressure from the cylinder gap would have any quantifiable effect compared to the .44 or .357 Deagle that obviously don't have a cylinder ?

[@glenpope4955]

Eh both lose velocity and energy. Although different reasons for both, the revolver as you said loses it through the gap, and the D Eagle loses some from the fact that it is gas operated. Now if we want to get technical about it yes the revolver is higher up on the loss scale but truth be told what ever you shoot won't notice the difference.

[@soridarravencroft813]

@@glenpope4955 Also there is the fact that the revolver 's loss is right out the gate, while the deagle's is at the end of the barrel, thus gaining (just about) the most energy possible before the bleed off.

[@IncapableLP]

.375: The target is destroyed! .44: The target got removed! .50: The target got deleted!

[@jorgeescobar547]

You’re the best I’ve always wanted to know how it works

[@twelve1738]

"It feels unsafe pointing this at you." Because even without the barrel, the Deagle still is as weighty as a regular handgun. I think.

[@un_civilized]

I can't believe this guy's my age. He looks like he's 35 and all the guns he owns are worth more than my house

[@thomascondon9447]

I know the feeling. I'm 27, and people are generally shocked. 35 is a normal guess for me.

[@CallousCoder]

For a young lad who wasn’t even born in the 80s, you rock it like it was my dude! Take it from this 50 year oLd (next month, getting used to it mentally) genX geezer.

[@rednecksniper4715]

Yes the 44 Magnum specifically the Smith and Wesson Model 29 was the most powerful handgun in the world and it wasn’t popular at all til Dirty Harry came out then they sold like crazy. 44 magnum was a hot rod made from over loaded 44 special by Elmer Keith if I remember correctly he blew up a lot of 44 specials trying to creat the 44 magnum

[@liamhayes23]

6:30 Brandon killed donut confirmed. RIP

[@dillonc7955]

Brandon is starting to look like that Dad that your first girlfriend told you not to worry about.

[@g_regulator1695]

Those Hawaiian shirts and 80's guns are pretty kino

[@tok14a]

That montage was something else! I loved the part where you explain how they work and how they are more similar to a riffle than a pistol. These videos make me laugh so much! Good job!

[@Endedas]

I like how you can here Brandon yell stop resisting in the montage

[@TrainmasterRR]

Great video👍🏼 It felt all too familiar. I think we may have similar habits. Anyway, for anyone still wondering about the .357 eagle, it has the recoil of a .22 revolver because of the extreme mass of the frame. The weight is almost exactly the same as the .50AE. This also helps with recoil of the .50AE and I would consider it’s recoil (uncompensated) to be less than a .44 magnum ruger redhawk. Don’t get me wrong, it will loosen your grip after a couple mags, but they don’t have insane amounts of recoil like everyone thinks. Mostly, they are hard to get a good holding grip on. The grips are massive and (as previously noted) they do have a good bit of heft. Props on the duel wielding👍🏼 (That’s an experience all of its own) From one sexy KZbin motherlover to another, keep up the good work.

[@froginthewaves8450]

This was amazing Brandon. Thank you.

[@MiniBandit007]

[@SuperCosty2010]

What Call Of Duty! The DE's, I think, first big entry in video games was Raven's Soldier Of Fortune which came out in 2000 and was kind of the unparalleled among FPSs in terms of gameplay. And Desert Eagle was basically a mad gun with which you could like shoot your opponent's legs and arms off, not speaking about annihilating heads

[@megagamernick9883]

Okay but now I want Brandon to make an AK or SMG in 50 AE. Intended purpose is when you need to absolutely obliterate everyone in a room including one guy getting a ham sandwich out of the fridge in the next room.
