Desert Eagle .50 BMG

Not to be confused with the DEagle 50, the .50 AE variant of this weapon.
The Magnum Research Incorporated Desert Eagle was found to be too small of an effective caliber, so Magnum completely redesigned the Desert Eagle to make the .50 BMG Desert Eagle. As the name implies, it fires .50 BMG rounds out of a 7-round magazine. Interestingly enough, it completely works, and packs a massive punch.
==Info==
This DEagle packs an absolute punch, with its 120 damage per shot. Unfortunately, the recoil and weight of the weapon is extreme, weighing 1.5x as much as a PKP Pecheneg, and having the recoil of a potato cannon. It spawns in the Golden Airdrop, and is about as rare as an M249. Finding this weapon will almost guarantee a few kills, as long as you are careful with it. Its accuracy is decent, but getting even one hit will wipe out most of a player's health, even with full level 3 armor.
==Strategies==
===Using===
* Conserve ammunition! Like the AWM-S, this weapon spawns with a relatively low ammunition count, and .50 BMG is very rare.
*Carry a close-range weapon, preferably a powerful shotgun or SMG. If you are caught reloading the DEagle, remember to pull out your secondary or you will likely be killed.
*Keep this weapon out of sight of anyone, as it makes you an immediate target. Only pull it out when you absolutely need it.
*Use this weapon like you would the M1014 or the SV-98, as it works best at medium-long range and deals heavy amounts of damage.
===Countering===
*There are two options: Running away with a rifle or rushing in with a shotgun.
** If you run away, pick the DEagle user off with a powerful long-range weapon like the AWM-S, the SV-98, or even another DEagle 50
**If you rush, be sure to have a lot of adrenaline and a powerful shotgun like the Saiga-12 or the MP220.
*Force them to reload. The 4.1 second reload will keep them occupied for a while, so try to kill them in that 4.1 second window.
