I get what you are saying there. Most of those kind of people buy a gold plated .50 DE. Which cost double what I paid for mine. My S&W 586 is the flashiest gun I own actually. It's nickel plated, was going to get a blued one. But it was too clean to pass up and it was a 4".

What kind?

It's a Smith & Wesson Model 19-5 with a 6 inch barrel.

Not very expensive, but flashy as hell. I got it so I could further my knowledge about revolvers, and Smiths are a lot simpler than Colts.

Not all people who buy Eagles are douchebags, but quite a few I've met are. The only one I've shot (a .50 AE Mark XIX) was owned by the boyfriend of a woman who worked with me. Then I met him at the Christmas Party for the first time, and he was...well, kind of a douche. Not a bad guy or anything, but still douchebag-ish. He was a fitness company consultant or something like that, and I remember our conversation was like 10 minutes of him trying to convince me that my current workout supplement was inadequate so that I'd buy something he had worked on...

Oh, yeah, so back to the Eagle. I guess it's kind of a fun gun to shoot, but the people I've talked to online who owned them (who are not at all douchebags) say that the novelty wears off pretty quickly.

I guess if you mod this baby you could go to war with it....



Oh wait.... that's a video game...

Does it load a high-capacity Deagle clip? Mine has jungle-taped C-mags.

For some reason it seems only fitting for Chuck Norris to wield such a weapon.

Chuck Norris doesn't need guns. His roundhouse kicks have more kinetic energy than any bullet.

But the directors of Missing in Action and Walker: Texas Ranger thought that, however funny, it would get old if he just roundhouse kicked everyone into oblivion.

I don't think the Jericho 941 is bad though. I was looking to buy a airsoft Jericho and i like the gun quite a lot. It has nice stopping power in .45 ACP and is small enough to be a Sidearm im most militarys. The IDF uses as their service sidearm also.

A Jericho in .45 ACP is called a Jericho 945, and as I always say, it's best to get the gun in the original form/caliber it came in anyhow. Also, the Jericho and Desert Eagle series have virtually no compatibility or commonality, so saying one is bad and the other good is like saying "I hate Berettas, but the SIGs are good though." Just a friendly correction.
