DESERT EAGLE AIRSOFT

If you’re looking for some serious firepower, semi-automatic Desert Eagle airsoft guns deliver. Though you won’t get the full force of the real-steel Desert Eagle in the BB gun variant, CO2 cartridge-powered and gas blowback models certainly give you a taste. 

Multiple companies produce Desert Eagle airsoft guns in various fits and finishes so you can easily customize this powerhouse to your heart’s delight. 

What Is a Desert Eagle Airsoft Gun?

If you’ve ever seen The Matrix, Red Heat, Demolition Man, or Snatch, you’re already familiar with the sheer firepower and presence of a semi-auto Desert Eagle pistol (although “hand cannon” seems more fitting). Magnum Research, the company behind this brute of a handgun, first produced the Desert Eagle in conjunction with Israel Military Industries in 1983. 

Real-steel, full-metal variants of the Desert Eagle platform come chambered in .50 Action Express (AE), one of the largest and most powerful ammo cartridges of any magazine-fed pistol. 

Magnum Research also lobbied movie prop houses during the 1990s to build hype for their product. That’s one of the reasons the Desert Eagle appeared in so many movies — not to mention the fact that it certainly makes a statement worthy of a big-screen action hero. These days, you can find an airsoft Desert Eagle on almost any field. 

How To Choose a Desert Eagle Airsoft Gun

Like many other iconic airsoft pistols (such as Glock), the Desert Eagle takes on many forms depending on the brand you choose. Variants include electric blowback (EBB), gas blowback (GBB), and CO2-powered models. 

Themed Desert Eagles, such as the Tokyo Marui Biohazard Resident Evil RE:2 Lightning Hawk .50AE Magnaport Custom (Limited Edition) and Cybergun 'DeadPool Painted Version' Desert Eagle L6 .50AE GBB Airsoft Pistol (by WE), help you bring your favorite characters to life. 

In many cases, players often choose to carry a CO2 or gas blowback airsoft pistol as a backup weapon, specifically if they’re running a sniper rifle. However, you can pair the Desert Eagle with an AEG or any other airsoft rifle if you want to run a pistol up close in combat. Desert Eagles can also make a great fall-back option for players who run airsoft shotguns as their primary weapon.
