One disadvantage of the gas release hole is that it is impossible to use lead bullets. The gun is now ready to fire a second shot. The bolt’s head then turns through about one-eighth of rotation so that the slide and barrel are locked. This produces the backward movement of the slide. This causes a sharp blow against the piston in the cylinder area, and it is struck back against the bottom of the barrel block. Some of this gas pressure enters the cylinder through the gas release hole. For this brief period, there is enormous pressure in the barrel. When a cartridge is fired in the chamber, the bullet takes a few milliseconds to shoot through the barrel. The first model in 1984 still had six bolt lugs. These lugs engage in corresponding recesses around the chamber of the barrel. The pistol locks with a rotating head with three lugs. The channel curves away there and enters a cylinder via a gas block. This hole opens into a gas channel, which runs parallel to the weapon up to the muzzle. There is a hole for releasing the gas in the bottom of the barrel, just after the chamber. 50 AE a ride.The weapon has a gas-operated repeating system, initially developed for army rifles. There are even different chamberings available for those a little timid about giving. The company offers a variety of versions, with different features and color patterns today, including one with a gold finish reminiscent of that Austin Powers appearance.

The innovative design and real-life performance of the Desert Eagle.50 AE is every bit as impressive as its movie credits, though. The unusual handgun went on to play in RoboCop, The Punisher, La Femme Nikita, Austin Powers and dozens more.
