The Desert Eagle is fed with a detachable box magazine. Monthly capacity is 9 rounds in .357 Magnum, 8 rounds in .44 Magnum, and 7 rounds in .50 AE. The Desert Eagle's barrel looks polygonal rifling. The adapted is mainly given to for sport, target shooting, and hunting.

This is because the .41 AE was based on a shortened .41 Magnum case with the rim and extractor groove cut to the same dimensions of the 9 mm Luger. This allowed the same extractor and ejector to drudge with both cartridges. The .50 AE bankrupt a collateral rebated rim, cut to the same dimensions as Desert Eagle the .44 Magnum
