Aesthetics of Design
- Black Sexy Pistol Case

- Racoon Police Department Insignia on the grip
- Chrome Magazine
- Contoured hand grip
- Chrome but Hard ABS plastic gun

Performance: Personal Experience

I have wielded Sigs, Glocks, USPs, 1911, and 2011. But the kick on this one I would say beats them all. I definitely cannot one hand this as my aim goes off like crazy. I have had no trouble wielding a Hicapa one hand and still get decent accuracy but this, no I cannot.

With this gun you cannot be sloppy with your pistol stance. A new pistol wielder will have no trouble when they pick up a TM Hi-capa but with this I still have to get use to the sighting and contour of the grip.

The grip is larger than the TM Hi-Capa and I read a review that said that you need to be big and tall to wield it. WRONG I'm 5 foot 7 which is I believe average height in Canada, correct me if I am wrong. Though the grip is large the contour of the grip lets you easily wrap your hand around it.

Performance Review: Shooting

Chrono: 350 FPS? (Yet to Chrono)

Still have to get use to the kick, my front sight jiggles way more than when I wielded a TM Hicapa. The accuracy is pretty much the same as a normal TM Desert Eagle. I feel a bit shafted because though it says 10 inches yes the slide is but the inner barrel is the same as a normal one :(

I have yet to Chrono but on propane I was able to pierce a coke can and at times it pierced through both sides. So I may have to use Butane if I find its above 350 FPS.

Conclusion

Will I game this? HELL YEAH, I don't like wall hanging guns, I like to pick it up and shoot anything minus furry cute animals, they soo cute little wittle guys. Ahem... I think I have found my true Pistolero weapon of choice.

Wow.. Hot damn I want one of those lol. That is damn sexy.
Especially useful for the zombpocalypse. Guaranteed one shot one kill, with a little extra range and accuracy too.

Yeah its hot but I feel shafted cause the inner barrel does not extend all the way to the tip of the long slide

Its the same inner barrel size of a normal TM Desert eagle

So I will have to purchase a aftermarket barrel that is long

I've never liked the desert eagle. I'd rather have the Samurai Edge. It's a much more efficient zombie killer :)


Do you have a sling for it? Or maybe one of those shotgun scabbards would work...

cbcsteve December 13th, 2008 16:54

Oh I've searched for the Samraui's Edge and searched and searched, I would have gotten it too, its more compact and easier to sight down than this long elephant killer. And people who do have it are not going to let it go.

Surprisingly it still fits in my cheapo China Holster, yay!

Endymion December 13th, 2008 17:28

The stock TM DE has a chronied velocity of 350fps out of the box on 0.20g with propane (I've owned about 7 and chronied 3). If the inner barrel on this one is longer than the regular model, I'd expect it to chrony much higher.

Heh I love DEs, but haven't owned one of these yet. It's mighty purdy. :)

Scooby Steve December 13th, 2008 17:40

Do want! That would look sweet in my coffin case.

amano999 December 13th, 2008 19:25

I held one of those once and it was really nice. My only problem was the extendeded barrel is plastic and so long that I would worry about banging it around in a game.

Mind u I am really rough on the guns as well.

He said the inner is the same. Reading is good ;)

Phew good to know, but yeah the Inner Barrel is not to the tip which is bad and I guess good thing so that the FPS is not over 350

As for banging it around I fear that too cause I do crazy maneuvers too sometimes minus diving in sand :P

Oh so you are the one with the coffin case I think you posted them in the Gallery awhile back? Sweet guns it would actually look good especially it being the Undead Hand Cannon

safx December 13th, 2008 23:02

Owned one, it's a beauty but too
fragile for me to tear up the abs
finish. Kicks hard, as most DE's.

I was disappointed with the amount
of plastic on the gun, even the rear
sight is plastic.

There are 10" metal kits out there
if you want to upgrade, the Zeke
one comes with a 10" inner barrel.

Yes the Plastic is sad, but did you actually put a lot of wear on it? Broken?

And thanks for pointing in the right direction, your read my mind as I was just going to search for one too. Looks like I have a new purpose haha

safx December 13th, 2008 23:19

Nope, got it new, made sweet love
to it and then sold it with zero rounds
fired, except for a couple dry fires.

It was an impulse buy, I couldn't bring
myself to scuff up that finish.

cbcsteve December 13th, 2008 23:50

Ahh I see ironic thing is I take care of the Box that came with the gun much better than the gun itself

If I ever come across that Zeke metal kit I won't have to worry, aside from if I bring it to CAPS I'll have to make sure its not poking out a window or else DQ'ed for me.

Rumpel Felt December 14th, 2008 00:35

Is it just me or do the 10" Desert Eagles make other *****es slump? I just....don't like it! It's like a tight little barely 16 Taiwanese school girl, but with something protruding awkwardly out of her orifices. I'll stick with my 'regulation' chrome thank you.

Oh and I have a brand new Zeke metal upper kit just laying around if you want it.

cbcsteve December 14th, 2008 03:55

Ew screw regulation when you can blow zombies up with this and it can double as a man club.

At least 3 mags worth (+ a knife) takes down that annoying Giant Troll (RE4)

The knife is to give you +1 speed when running away (or through) them.

aZn_triXta07 December 14th, 2008 04:45

Stop talking about RE4 or else I'm going to start playing it again! GAHHH first time playing that game without a walkthrough it took friggin forever ahahaha don't even remind me >.< wasted so much time.

On the other note I think you should grab the Tanaka Workds S&W M500 10.5' Hunter or whatever its called, that thing is beastily too bad it's not full metal =/

Excellent choice strangah! (to be said in a rasp voice)

amano999 December 14th, 2008 11:02

The finish will wear out with time if u game it. My wife has been running her Eagle for 2 years now and it still works fire, but the silver doesn't shine like is used too.

Eagle are very reliable GBB's even tho certain parts internally break it still works fine.

Endymion December 14th, 2008 12:51

There are three internal parts to watch out for if you use it regularly. They *will* break with regular use, but they're also largely cosmetic and don't really affect function at all.

1. Loading nozzle arms
2. Loading nozzle return spring
3. Safety block - it's not uncommon for the "wing" on the side with the physical internal safety latch to break. You won't notice until your safety stops working properly. It *is* possible to make it work again simply by removing the broken piece, depending on how it fractures.

Dye your hair blond and wear a suede jacket, a black t-shirt underneath and black jeans and shoes. And there you go the perfect Leon S. Kennedy cosplay, or you can run around like that at defcon =D

cbcsteve December 14th, 2008 16:16

Thanks for the tips Endymion and amano999, yeah I noticed the recoil will probably destroy some parts in the gun. But thanks for letting me know I'll buy those parts ahead of time. As for the glossy finish I think it can be re-done.

Awhile back when I was younger I use to make Gundams and car models. I remember I use to apply some sort of finish on to the ABS plastic to make my models look shiny. Though I think it may be slightly toxic I forget, I'll have to look into it again.

And if the gun is 350+Fps I learned from BordenSniper that he tested butane in his gas gun and the power was less, although unsure butane's affect on the magazine but I assume it won't destroy it.

As for looking like Leon, I did the blonde dye hair thing back in high school it was all the rage but its just looked wrong on me. But I'll wear the pimp clothes no problem (Extra Unlock Costume in Resident Evil 4)

Butane eats rubber, it'll destroy your seals.

Thanks for the quick answer

Though won't need to use weaker gas as it shoots 330FPS yay!
Even if I did add a new barrel I doubt it would make it go past 350FPS as it would only add a few inches to it.

Maybe not in an AEG, but in a GBB it's quite possible.

Possible eh, well I guess the barrel now is good enough, if I set myself right and rest it on a sandbag or whatever cover I am using it is deadly accurate, painful too, gave someone an extra nipple hahaa.

The kick I have to get used to it as I have to re-aim after 2 shots in rapid fire anything more than 2 shots on rapid fire I see my bullets go here and there

He's right, my stock Hicapa 5.1 with a 6" tightbore shoots very hard. Pierced both sides of a can easily and then kept going fast from 15 feet.

Ouch, wouldn't want to know what would happen to my nails if it hit
