Details:

The Desert Eagle is nicknamed the hand cannon for a reason. It is the second most expensive pistol in Counter-Strike: Source. It hits like a freight train and will two- if not one-shot the most distant of enemies. Keep in mind that this pistol has the worst recoil out of any other pistol and can cause a large amount of bullet spread if you decide to spam it. A slower rate of fire also means more downtime between shots, so make certain you land them when using this. An expensive pistol, but a deadly one in the right hands, and a definite candidate for eco rounds for those who can control it.
