The game Fallout 3 has a scoped 44 mag in it. Best shot I ever made was in downtown DC and a raider on the 3rd floor of a building was looking out of a window. All I could see from ground level across the street was his mowhawked mug. One round from the 44 mag right in the forehead.
It’s airsoft, that picture has been around for a while, but I suspect it hasn’t made the rounds so much in the firearms community.
If it were a real Desert Eagle it wouldn’t be able to eject with a scope base like that.
And a carbine is a carbine. It bridges teh gap when needed to get better stability out of a pistol, when you dont need rifle ranges or penetration.
Honestly, I think more police would be well served with carbines in the same caliber as their duty pistol, instead of arming them up with M4’s and such.
This just looks neat, and if you are looking for that and have the cash, go for it.

I’ll bite. What the heck is that?

looks like a desert eagle made into a rifle and suppressed.

You’re right, it’s cool.

What the hell??? Uber mall ninja.

Come on, Bob H! You can clearly tell that it’s a close range groundhog rig!
I would totally buy one except I have a Ka-Bar for when the groghounds get in too close.

That’s my truck gun.

Put it this way, if you need optics to aim at ranges where a pistol-caliber carbine is of use, you’d better hire a bodyguard who can see to shoot…

Wondering about the casing ejection. Deagles are infamous for throwing brass straight back at the shooters forehead.
Also slap on some anodized gold coloring and it could be Jane’s back up gun for “Vera” .

I’ll echo Rivrdog’s comment.
That’s an awful lot of glass for a pistol.

Hmmmm……that rig might make a DE enjoyable to shoot….

Since no one said it yet, “A rifle is a rifle and a pistol is a pistol.”
But, yeah, it does look cool.

It is very appropriate here, as the gun has a very “The Man from UNCLE” vibe.

Looks like a waste of a perfectly good desert eag… oh never mind.
