Presenting the Desert Eagle as a practical sidearm is deep fantasy.

Isn't there a non .50cal version

Yes...and it's not much better....357 still kicks like a bitch.

Source, I have said .357 DE and it collects dust and only comes out when someone wants to fire it. It's boring and a complete waste of money as a firearm, but it's a collection piece.

Right but if you're a superhuman sentinel program that only exists as subsentient code in a simulated reality, and you need to shoot through four inch concrete walls, well... Then you'll be glad to have one.

Exactly. Think of it like a video game, where the .50 DE is a practical weapon. Remember: we only see the gun in the matrix and not in the real world. 😌
