The Desert Eagle is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Background[]

The following section is transcluded from Desert Eagle .44. To modify, please edit the source page.

A large-framed, gas-operated pistol chambered in .44 Magnum. Popularized by late 20th century action movies, this respectable weapon has earned a reputation for firepower and an enduring popularity.[1] The fact that it can load high powered cartridges due to it being gas operated certainly helped.

A veritable relic, the Desert Eagle in .44 still features its original nickel finish. It's one of the earlier models, easily distinguished by its distinctive teardrop shape.

Characteristics[]

A good all-around pistol and a decent alternative to the .44 Magnum revolver, with a higher magazine capacity and slightly bigger range. Outclassed by the needler pistol and .223 pistol.
