Default For the Airsofters out there....

I really want to buy this and I don't know where to go:

A Tokyo Marui Desert Eagle .50 AE "Hardkick" in black.

The chrome also looks nice but is more expensive and plus I like the black better.

I keep watching the Matrix and I want an Agent gun to mess around with. I certainly don't want to piss away a $1000 on a real one.

And eBay isn't an option. I don't have Paypal and the only ones who sell them are Paypal only. Hopefully there is a place were it is relatively cheap too.

On eBay it was $120 but on other places, it was as high as $200. I'd settle for maybe $150 tops.

Can anyone help me out?

When I used to be more into airsoft, I usually bought my guns from Red Wolf. They have the TM Eagle in black for $138. Here you go:

Good choice, BTW. It's probably the best of the airsoft Desert Eagles you can buy. It has licensed trademarks, which is always nice (and more realistic).

As far as buying a real one goes, definitely not recommended. Everyone I've known who ever owned a Desert Eagle wound up getting rid of it. It has its fans, of course, but for most people, the novelty wears off pretty fast.

I hate all forms of the Desert Eagle. I mean, it's a cool kick ass gun, but it's HUGE...I really dont think anyone even want to use on cause it's that expensive.

Airsoft wise, it is still heavy, bulky, and just unwieldy. I've met some fanboys who bought one and my sidearms that I have, a custom M92 and a USP tactical, both of mine can kick his ass and doesn't weigh that much.

But up to you if you want a Desert Eagle, don't go for Toyko Mauri, in fact, don't buy any of their plastic shit. If you want a Desert Eagle, KWC makes one that looks like .50AE with a metal slide for about $94. HFC makes a metal one for $69

Tokyo Marui's guns are more realistic detail-wise, which makes them better for collectors. The KWC may be cheaper and more durable, but I can tell you from first-hand experience it's not as realistic in terms of its shape.

Also, Gunmaster, I'm assuming you just want this gun for the sake of collection purposes, not actually playing the game? And even if you did want to get into airsoft, the Desert Eagle is a poor choice for a sidearm, anyway. My sidearm when I played was a Western Arms Beretta 92FS (Perfect Version) with laser-sighted grip.
