This .50 caliber hand cannon made for Magnum Research is used mainly for competition and sport. Because of its considerable recoil and small magazine, real-life militaries and law enforcement tend not to use it, despite what CounterStrike may lead you to believe. Also, the .50 caliber Action Express pistol round, only slightly smaller than the average thumb, is overkill for a human target. Given that, every soldier in the CoD4 world must have bionic wrists to be able to fire the Deagle as quickly and accurately you can in multiplayer. Use this pistol if you like to go for pistol kills frequently instead of using the pistol as a second or last resort. It's very loud and not silenceable, so don't use it if you favor stealth. To account for the recoil, aim at your target's middle or lower torso and fire as fast as you can; they should go down in short order. You'll get a separate golden Deagle when you hit rank 55; there's no performance difference between it and the normal gun.

Because this is a .50 caliber gun, it packs the biggest punch. It is a very strong pistol and has the best range, so consider this for your sniper class. However, it has huge recoil and the clip isn't as big as liked, so if the target is far away or in motion, take time with your shots. If they are close, aim around the torso if not a bit higher and spam shots. The recoil will make the bullets go higher than wanted, but if you are aiming at the middle of the body you should still hit them. It would be idiotic to use this as a stealth class however. The muzzle flash is bright and the sound is loud, and this gun is not silenceable. If you like to use pistols a lot, this is a great choice due to its power. This is a 2 hit kill gun, unless you get a headshot, then it's 1 hit. Of course if they are using Juggernaut then no, but for everyone else yes. You might have seen this gun with a shiny golden finish. This gun can be unlocked golden at level 55. Many people love it with a golden finish, so remember, if you prestiege you will lose it. Many people prestiege and then are unhappy with their decision simply because t hey have to work forever to get their golden Desert Eagle back.
