Default The ultimate offensive pistol

So, today I decided to create the ultimate handgun, since I feel that every weapon in all existence is lacking in certain key features which videogames have taught me are needed on any proper pistol. This is going to be a real offensive pistol.

For operators.

Anyway, we start with our base weapon, the most effective and respectable gun in the world, the .50 AE Deagle. To start with, I decided to go with an extended clip. The Deagle has a very simple method of extending the clip, you just press the little button by the trigger guard and then pull it from the retracted position to the extended position, like so:



Unfortunately, the Deagle has a severe design flaw, in that extending the clip prevents the gun from firing and makes it fall out if you pick the gun up. Heaven knows how such a thing snuck through quality control.

So, we need to get a bit more in depth to get a clip of respectable size for a real Delta-SWAT karate samurai cowboy. We also need a barrel extension, since if you can't hit your opponent with your front sight past the effective range of the actual weapon, you're just not trying.



Here we see our Deagle partway through the conversion, surrounded by the many vital tools of the gunsmith's art. This operation was complex, and several times I wanted to go back to my other project of taking a gun at least thirty years old and shoving a bunch of RIS rails and AR accessories on it while pretending this is in some way a good idea, but I held firm.



The results were perfect; while the barrel length is an issue we'll return to, the extended clip is fitted and now our highly professional operator can share ammo between his main arm and his sidearm without worrying about compatibility or common sense getting in the way.
