gradeAbra Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Well does anyone here know why Magnum is so much powerful than normal pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onanist Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 u mean Desert Eagle (Deagle)? it's really more powerful. were u ever playing games where deagle was? like counter-strike. one headshot = death instead of two headshot with normal pistol like glock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51L3N7 4554551N Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 It's more powerful because it uses a higher caliber bullet (50AE if I remember correctly). Over here in England you must have your elbow against a wall when firing a Deagle in a gun range so you don't propell yourself backwards and break your arm.

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? The americans are not savage because they can carry guns. I may not be one, but I'm pretty sure they don't like being called savages. I don't even understand your second comment, all I see is you calling someone an idiot, which is also uncalled for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartey Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 A Magnum is so powerful because of it's calibur, It is the powerfulist hand gun in the world. It's like a shot gun, it makes holes the size of a tennis ball. Desert eagles are powerful too but not as powerful as a magnum, the sheer noise of a magnum going off is deafing.

Pump Bumper Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 well i own 2 22 cal rifles (both henry lever action, very pretty ) and i sure as hell don't consider myself savage. go have a tea party with the queen, british elitist scum oh and a magnum has a larger amount of powder than a normal pistol, creating more power.

Okay that was totally uncalled for. Yes I am an American, yes I own a gun, is it legal for me to get a permit to carry said gun on the street? Yes. Does that mean I'm Charlton Hesston? No. I'm not even going to be rude even though I definately could be, but come on. I don't know if your British or Canadian, or what since your profile has absolutely no information but you're a jerk.

Ozzy_Osbourne Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 (edited) ##Removed The Off-Topic Anti/Pro Gun Related Bullsh*t## But on topic, It's because the magnum is a .50 caliber AE Desert Eagle. In other words, a really big really powerful handgun that makes loud noises and makes people fall down as opposed to a 9mm pistol that just hits people and makes them..go.."ouch" and bleed a little(Ok, not a little but you get my point) Edited August 27, 2005 by Ozzy_Osbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because I'm an american that means that when I have a gun I just go around shooting people and mumble stuff like "Me likey shooty the people with'm me firestick"?? Grow up man. Just because we can carry a firearm does not make us trigger-happy gun-nuts and rednecks. It is our second amendment right that allows us to carry these for our personal protection or elsewise(Although as far as I know it is still Illegal to carry a freakin' Desert Eagle). Can't handle that? Too bad. It gives you no right to critisize us. But on topic, It's because the magnum is a .50 caliber AE Desert Eagle.

HuntaKilla Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Im not quite sure but from my knowledge I think you can only carry a handgun. SO no you cant carry a mini gun. Although you can buy automatic and custom weapons, you cant walk around with them like pistols. Even though a .44 Magnum is only a 44. caliber as opposed ot the .50 caliber of a desert Eagle the .44 Magnum is considered more powerful because of the size of the bullet and the type of powder used. Also with a pistol if you have it in your car Im pretty sure the law is that you have to keep it in plain view at all times e.g., in a case on your dashboard of for car. Meaning you cant just walk around with it in our pants like in the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning you cant just walk around with it in our pants like in the movies. @ the first part: That is correct, although even if you do buy an automatic weapon it is illegal to shoot it without a special permit and it can only be shot at a target range set up specifically for those kind of weapons About the 44. vs .50 magnum: The .44 is also a whole lot easy to handle i.e. you don't blow your arm off just shooting it. The .50 is just brutal to both the target and the shooter and thus not a wise weapon to be carrying(let alone how expensive it is to purchase ammo for it) And about where you can carry a pistol: As long as you have a carry-conceal permit, you can hide you handgun pretty much anywhere you want. Even tucked into your pants like the movies(although it is not recommended for obvious hazard reasons like putting a bullet in your ass cheek, or worse...)

Yeah. First it was all about killing poor hookers, now it's about banging them. Agreeing with Opius here: There was a kid at my school that tried to act gangsta, and said (jokingly to impress some ladies) that he had a Desert Eagle 9mm. I loudly said they don't shoot 9mm, but .50, .357, and something my brother told me, like a Carbon 50-50 or something. Stupid rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And isit true that magnum can pierce through bullet prove vest? thanks Yes it can pierce armour at a certain range. The bullet sort of bursts. Shotgun's bullets burst and it flys everywhere, a magnum's bullet hits one place. If i was to shot you at close range in the stomach, you'd fly back and have a big hole in ur stomach. The force of a magnum is what makes it deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember Newtons Law of Physics. In order for him to fly back you would also have to fly back an equal distance, regardless of the range you shot him at. But let's not turn this into a massive Physics lesson. (Sorry to be picky on the matter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
