Compensation

A Desert Eagle is a very large pistol that is good for two things:

(1) Stroking while muttering to yourself about how you will make Ricardo Montalban pay for sending his manservant to live in your peripheral vision and leer at you, and

(2) Security guard work in banks that are frequently robbed by grizzly bears.

Apart from that its practical uses are rather limited and it is really only suited for that small section of the pistol market that consists of acromegaly sufferers who hold human life cheaply, but not so cheap that it isn't worth $4 a bullet.
