The '''Desert Eagle''' is an extremely powerful handgun found in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] (where it is referred to as the Combat Pistol) and [[Grand Theft Auto V]] (only available in the Special and Collector's editions and referred as the Pistol .50). It appears in some cutscenes of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], but is never available to use in gameplay, without the use of modifications and/or trainers.
The '''Desert Eagle''' is an extremely powerful handgun found in [[GTA IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and is far more powerful than the other pistols in the game. It holds 7 rounds per clip (9 in GTA IV) and kills in one shot the majority of the time. The San Andreas Desert Eagle is modeled after the .50 caliber [[wp:Desert Eagle|Desert Eagle]], while the GTA IV version is modeled after the .357 Magnum variety.

The Desert Eagle was first introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. However, it was only present in two cutscenes; the first cutscene in the mission [[Supply & Demand]], which [[Ricardo Diaz]] uses to shoot his VCR after it "ate his favourite [[El Burro (GTA III)|El Burro]] movie". Its second appearance was the final cutscene of [[Rub Out]], which [[Lance Vance]] uses to execute Ricardo Diaz, as revenge for killing [[Victor Vance|his brother]] and for attempting to kill [[Death Row|him and Tommy]].

The Desert Eagle used in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

The Desert Eagle is an extremely powerful handgun found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV (where it is referred to as the Combat Pistol) and Grand Theft Auto V (only available in the Special and Collector's editions and referred as the Pistol .50). It appears in some cutscenes of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, but is never available to use in gameplay, without the use of modifications and/or trainers.

Description

The Desert Eagle was first introduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. However, it was only present in two cutscenes; the first cutscene in the mission Supply & Demand, which Ricardo Diaz uses to shoot his VCR after it "ate his favourite El Burro movie". Its second appearance was the final cutscene of Rub Out, which Lance Vance uses to execute Ricardo Diaz, as revenge for killing his brother and for attempting to kill him and Tommy.

The Desert Eagle used in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The Desert Eagle is far more powerful than the other pistols in the game (Headshots with this in GTA IV will release a large cloud of blood from the victim). It holds 7 rounds per magazine (9 in GTA IV) and kills in one shot the majority of the time in San Andreas; it takes 3 or 4 body shots, or a single head shot, to kill in GTA IV. The San Andreas Desert Eagle is modeled after the .50 Action Express variant (which is considered the 'Classic' Desert Eagle), while the GTA IV version is modeled after the .357 Magnum variant.

The Desert Eagle, referred in Grand Theft Auto IV as a "Combat Pistol", is a more powerful and accurate handgun than the Pistol; however, those advantages are offsetted by a smaller magazine capacity and a slower rate of fire. The Combat Pistol can be purchased from any of the three gun shops in Liberty City for $1,500 and every additional magazine is $100, but cannot be purchased from Little Jacob. The player can attain a Combat Pistol by attacking the gun shop owner; however, this risks retaliation from the gun shop owner's guards. This, like all other pistols, can be fired from a car, but its semi-automatic capabilities and 9 round magazine make it less effective for this purpose.

The Desert Eagle in GTA IV has more than double the fire rate of the GTA San Andreas Desert Eagle (if the weapon skill of the Desert Eagle in San Andreas is up to Hitman, then the GTA IV version has exactly double the fire rate).
