3D Animation: How a Desert Eagle works

- The Desert Eagle is a semi-automatic pistol. Magnum Research Inc. (MRI) designed and developed the Desert Eagle. The design was refined and the pistols were manufactured by Israel Military Industries (IMI) until 1995, when MRI shifted the manufacturing contract to Saco Defense in Saco, Maine. In 1998, MRI moved manufacturing back to IMI, which later commercialized its small arms branch under the name Israel Weapon Industries. Since 2009, the Desert Eagle Pistol has been produced in the United States at MRI's Pillager, Minnesota, facility. Kahr Arms acquired Magnum Research in 2010.
Magnum Research has marketed various versions of the short recoil Jericho 941 pistol under the Baby Eagle and Desert Eagle Pistol names; these weapons are not directly related to the Desert Eagle but do share a similar visual design.
The design for the Desert Eagle was initiated by Bernard C. White of Magnum Research and Arnolds Streinbergs of Riga Arms Institute, who filed a US patent application for a mechanism for a gas-actuated pistol in January 1983. This established the basic layout of the Desert Eagle. A second patent application was filed in December 1985, after the basic design had been refined by IMI Systems (Israel Military Industries) for production, and this is the form that went into production.
The pistol is fired by a single action hammer, and has a manual safety switch on the slide. The ambidextrous safety switch rotates a drum mechanism which sits over the firing pin, causing the firing pin to lock in.
The Desert Eagle uses a gas-operated mechanism normally found in rifles, as opposed to the short recoil or blow-back designs most commonly seen in semi-automatic pistols. When a round is fired, gases are ported out through a small hole in the barrel in front of the chamber. These travel forward, through a small tube under the barrel, to a cylinder underneath the front of the barrel. The slide, which acts as the bolt carrier, has a small piston on the front that fits into this cylinder. When the gases reach the cylinder, the piston pushes the slide rearward, with a large pin inside the camming surface in the rear of the bolt causing the bolt to rotate and unlock. A mechanism on the left side of the bolt prevents the bolt from rotating freely as the slide moves, forcing it to remain aligned correctly with the barrel while the breech is open. The spring-loaded ejector is continually being depressed by the case, until the case is free of the chamber and the tension from the ejector is released, causing the case to eject, breaking free of the extractor in the process. The slide reaches its rearmost position, then moves forward again under tension of the recoil springs. The bottom lug of the bolt pushes a new round into the chamber, then the bolt locks up and the gun can be fired again.
The rotating bolt has four radial locking lugs, with the extractor on the right hand side fitting where the fifth lug would be, and strongly resembles the 7-lug bolt of the M16 series of rifles, while the fixed gas cylinder/moving piston resemble those of the Ruger Mini-14 carbine (the original patent used a captive piston similar to the M14 rifle).
The advantage of the gas operation is that it allows the use of far more powerful cartridges than traditional semi-automatic pistol designs. Thus it allows the Desert Eagle to compete in an area that had previously been dominated by magnum revolvers.
Switching a Desert Eagle to another chambering requires only that the correct barrel, bolt assembly, and magazine be installed. Thus, a conversion to fire the other cartridges can be quickly accomplished. The rim diameter of the .50 AE (Action Express) is the same as the .44 Remington Magnum cartridge, consequently only a barrel and magazine change is required to convert a .44 Desert Eagle to the larger, more powerful .50 AE round. The most popular barrel length is 6 in (152 mm), although a 10 in (254 mm) barrel is available.
The Desert Eagle is fed with a detachable magazine. Magazine capacity is 9 rounds in .357 Magnum, 8 rounds in .44 Magnum, and 7 rounds in .50 Action Express. The Desert Eagle's barrel features polygonal rifling.

The 1 person that dislike the video Has a high point
Naw. Its the fact that the video failed to illustrate the gun jamming like Deagles are known for.
Or they aren’t American
Deagle lore:
Me when i see that one valve furry:
It's nice to see how the bolt and gas system work. Thanks!
Thanks!
@@3DGunner what's the app called
This is the kind of reference I need when 3D modelling, thanks a lot! :)
"I personally like Hi-Point. I mean, not everyone can afford a-"
Wait a second. How did they drill out that gas tube in the barrel assembly? Is there a milling trick I don't know about?
Yeah, I want to know the same! Really nice animation though. Now I see how the gas operation works.
Nice illustration. Really explained it well. Even a novice will understand it with ease.
Parabéns pela animação. Pela primeira vez consegui entender como os gases conseguem impulsionar o ferrolho à retaguarda.
Fascinating!
As a Veteran, seeing this in operation is truly magnificent! Thank you for this upload.
Thank you!
Thank you for your service!
Why not have the gas port near the end of the barrel instead of at the chamber?
the gun requires dwell time. dwell time is the time the bullet spends between the muzzle and gas port. as long as there is a bullet inside the barrel, pressure cannot escape. if the gas port was placed near the barrel, there wouldn't be enough pressure time to cycle the gun.
@@wardenamoguis6187 Very good explanation, thanks
Nice vid! I'm surprised I never looked this up before. Interesting system.
Thank you!
Great work can u please explain rotating bolt
Like on an AR15 or AK rifle the bolt rotates so it locks into the lugs in the barrel. The bolt won't unlock from the barrel until the bolt carrier or in this case the slide, is pushed back far enough by the gas piston. Every self loading firearm needs it's bolt to lock into the barrel in some way to prevent the casing from being ejected too early and causing basically a small explosion outside of the gun
@@YoBoyNeptune thanks
@@YoBoyNeptune "Every self loading firearm needs it's bolt to lock into the barrel in some way" is wrong. One, the receiver rather than the barrel has often been the locking surface, certainly on locking systems other than rotating bolt, and two, not every self-loading gun does have a locked breech - blowback-operated is still self-loading.
@@smorrow I gave a simplified explanation. I'm aware that things like tilting block exist
Thank you! i could identify the problem i had on mine!! after 4 years finally!!
Thanks for this video, I needed it so I can make My Desert Eagle work in my animation. 👍😐
this isnt an animation, its from a steam game, but hey, at least you did the work (or paid the money) for the deagle, so still good
did you know that the .50AE round has more stopping power than a .223 REM round?
No shit
The gas system on a handgun still amazes me and wish it was seen in more newer handguns to see if those would handle +P+ and hotter loaded ammunition.
Yoooo, i still dont understand how the mag ejects or why the mag ejects when when pressing mag release, show us the animation, lol, thanks...
Basically, in the magazine, of a semi-auto pistol atleast, there's this hole cut in it, inside the gun, there's a springloaded latch that goes into that cutout hole, the latch is connected to the mag-release button. The button's pressed, the latch lets go of the mag, mag falls out. There's only 2 guns where the mag *ejects* after pressing the mag release, that is the Korth Automatic Pistol.
That's so cool, a gas operated handgun
You're aware how if you pull the slide of a loaded Glock, a round will be ejected yes?
Does the same apply to desert eagles? Can you manually eject a round without firing it?
Yes, that applies to every semi-automatic pistol.
@@3DGunner so if someone ejected the clip from a loaded desert eagle, will there still be a round in the chamber?
@@afanoflafear Yes
@@afanoflafear Plus, it's a mag.
"Stealth is optional for this missio-"
I love it so much thx for the video
how the quiet kid's toy works
Gas powered energy
Pov: you searched for this
I was wondering why I couldn't see the gas port in mine
What does that pin at the grip do?
working like ak47 system
Gas port is actually in the back of the barrel behind the case
That can't be right.
thanks now I know how to shoot now!
Gas operated pistol 😧😧
Now imagine all that happening in one second.0:48
System ain't that complex. Effing love it.
