Revision as of 19:30, 29 March 2010

The Desert Eagle is used by the following actors in the following movies, television series, video games, and anime:

(I am currently re-arranging this page; please be patient -MT2008)


Specifications

  • Type: Pistol
  • Caliber: .357 Magnum, 44 Magnum, .50 Action Express
  • Capacity: 9 (.357 Magnum), 8 (.41 and .44 Magnum), 7 (.50 Action Express)
  • Fire Modes: Semiautomatic (Single Action)

Desert Eagle Mark I

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magnum Research Desert Eagle MK I - .357 Magnum. First model of Desert Eagle put into production. Note the "teardrop"-shaped safety, the most distinctive feature of the Mark I compared to later Eagle models.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A matte stainless Desert Eagle MK I - .357 Magnum. The weapon pictured here is an actual movie gun (from the inventory of Weapons Specialists, Ltd. in New York) and has appeared in several motion pictures.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A gold-plated Desert Eagle Mark I - .357 Magnum - the gun pictured was Mike Myers' actual gun in the film Austin Powers in Goldmember and has since appeared in several other movies and TV shows.

The Mark I is the earliest variation of the Desert Eagle put into production. First introduced late in 1983 and initially chambered only in .357 Magnum, it is distinguishable from later Desert Eagle models by the "teardrop" shape of its safety button. The Mark I's slide release also has only a single step, while the safety on the Mark VII and Mark XIX has several steps. This is the most common Desert Eagle model in films made prior to the early 1990s, though it has nonetheless appeared in numerous more recent productions (most notably Austin Powers in Goldmember).

Desert Eagle Mark VII

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Desert Eagle MK VII - .357 Magnum. The most commonly seen Desert Eagle pistol in films before 1999.

Desert Eagle MK VII - .357 Magnum w/ nickel finish.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Desert Eagle MK VII - .44 Magnum. Note the thickness of the barrel compared to the .357 Desert Eagles seen above. Contrary to popular belief, there are virtually NO .44 caliber Desert Eagles seen in American made films, armorers usually use only the .357 Magnum or the .50 AE models. All films or television shows shot overseas with foreign armorers have used the .44 Desert Eagle, most notable Canadian Productions.

Golden Desert Eagle MK VII - .44 Magnum

The Mark VII was an improved variation of the original Desert Eagle. Introduced in 1990, it featured a re-designed safety lever (which is the most visible external difference from the Mark I) and slide release, as well as an adjustable trigger. Unlike the Mark I, it was available in both .41 Magnum and (briefly) .50 AE. This was the most likely Desert Eagle to be seen in movies made in the 1990s.

Golden Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE.

The Mark XIX is the current production model of the Desert Eagle, and the most likely to be seen in movies made since 2000, particularly in its .50 AE version (after being popularized by The Matrix). It was first introduced in 1995, and its most obvious visual difference from the earlier Desert Eagle models in that it features scope rails over the barrel (it also has taller cocking serrations on the slide). Unlike the earlier Desert Eagle models, the Mark XIX can be switched to any caliber simply by swapping the barrels.

Also note that the .357 and .44 Magnum versions of the Mark XIX have a unique "fluted" barrel, which the .50 AE version does not have. Any Desert Eagle Mark XIX that lacks this fluting would have to be the .50 AE model.
