Cybergun Magnum Research Licensed Select Fire Desert Eagle CO2 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol by KWC (Color: Grey w/ Rail / Gun Only)

"I love the gun, but there are some things i don't like about it.
Its very large, and doesn't fit many holsters.
There is a very common error to where if you cock it (Pull the slide) with out a mag in it, it can lock your slide into place and you have to completely dis-assemble it to fix it.
It likes to use all your CO2 within a few mags, as with my friends Smith n Westen it doesn't use nearly as much CO2.
That is pretty much it as i only recently got the gun.

"Like a lot of people have said, this gun is in fact a beast. That being said, I would have to say that owning this particular handgun requires a little bit of GBB experience and should be owned by players with a decent amount of experience or more. I say this because while removing the barrel is easy, the slide is a bit more tricky. there is a small allen screw that must be screwed in in order to remove the slide and screwed back in if you want you trigger to work like it should. There aren't many parts available for it in the event that something goes wrong, so please be careful with this gun. Yes you will turn heads with this pistol, but with everything, make sure you know how to use it properly.

This list of pros and cons is based off of my experience and can vary depending on the person and situation. I can't vouch for chrono results or gas consumption due to the fact that I still need a chronograph and it's about that time of year when it starts snowing

Pros:

- Hard blowback
- Heavy weight
- Full metal outer barrel and slide assembly/metal in all the right parts
- Dead accurate with .23 and above. (Still highly accurate with .20)
- Ability to be de-cocked like the real thing (There have been a few GBBs in which the only way to de-cock the gun was to pull the trigger. Not the case here)

Cons:

- Easy scratching
- Full auto mode (Cool, but highly unnecessary. Speeds up thee rate of wear)
- Fires in full auto when in Semi (Only happened to me after I tampered with a little. Make sure you know exactly what you are doing when you take this gun apart. goes back to Semi after a few trigger pulls)

"If you are choosing whether to get this or the TM, in the long run, the TM will be better. If you have spare Co2, maintain and treat your guns often and with respect, lube often, and trust in your own skills that you can sustain a gun with little to no spare parts on the market, this is definitely a gun to buy.

If you live in UK or play CQB, FPS averages around 330 with FPS groupings from 298 to 354. I recommend taking at least 2-4 shots with new CO2, as I found it is VERY HOT with a new CO2 cartridge, from 370's to 390's. The FPS fluctuates a lot and so you may need to buy a FEW pistol springs as the DE has 2 SPRINGS. (FPS was based off of .20 grams)

Build quality is about average with necessary parts being metal and the materialistic things being plastic. Everyone says this gun is not ergonomic but, personally, you never know until you actually grip it.(I don't care about ergonomics) Pretty easy to disassemble BUT other reviews have complained about the slide breaking so keep that in mind. The fire selector should be switched while the gun is uncocked, because, if the gun is pulled back, and you try to switch from safety to semi, your gun may break. Taking the orange barrel off will reveal a thread for potential suppressors to be used. It also has a top rail for your sights.

Performance wise it's decent. It has the capability to get decent accuracy at SMG distances depending on your BB's. Trigger response is slightly above average with a consistent response. RPS maybe around 18-20 so if you use auto(not recommended) you will have good primary or secondary. Kick makes this gun exciting and the DE will turn many heads with such a cannon of a gun

Personally I just ran cargo shorts with my loadout so I just put my gun in my pocket. In CQB I run it as a primary so I don't know what to tell you when it comes to holsters. Also, People have experienced mag leaks, but I have not and I have bought 2 extra mags.

Lastly, the automatic is just as a showpiece, and I DON'T RECOMMEND THE USE OF AUTOMATIC BECAUSE OF THE WEAR AND TEAR AND THE LOW AMOUNT (if any) OF KWC DE PARTS ON THE MARKET.

VERDICT-
If you are an experienced air softer that is willing to invest in the gun and potentially expensive parts, and promise to treat the gun with care this gun will reward you, otherwise just get some bulky HI-CAPA or a KWA ATP. This gun is not for beginners and can POTENTIALLY be a high maintenance gun. Also consider that you may be shipped a good gun or a bad gun, as previous reviews point out.

SCORE- 82/100

+ It's a Desert Eagle
+ Kick
+ Licensed
+ Sound

- Parts for sale
- Full Auto decreases gun's life
- High Maintenance
- Inconsistent FPS
- Expensive Mags

"I love this gun! Some of my friends now fear me on the field, it hit hard has a okay range and is big! And the full auto is AWSOME!!!!!!

Pros:
Hits hard
Mostly metal
Hold 30 rounds
Nice weight
AWSOME blowback

Cons:
Loud (can be pro, but for me its a con)
Run out of co2 fast
Switches from semi to full auto randomly
Every time i shoot the right selector switch loosens and I have to tighten it.

Its overal a very nice gun, but you might want to get an adjustable holster, its big.

"Great gun if you are looking for a big powerful gun but it has a few flaw or at least myn did it likes to go in to full auto when I am shooting in semi auto but that may just be a flaw with my gun also its hard to find a holster to hold this monster and the final thing is it likes to eat threw co2 tanks mabe a clip and a hafe be for you gotta change out but but I may just have got the one gun with the problems but I would still recommend it to anyone for a good secondary or a primary for backyard airsoft players

"Sweet gun! Realistic, very hard kick!

Pros

- Powerful!
- Amazing kick!
- Range and accuracy are fairly good for a large blowback.
- Metal does NOT scratch easily.

Cons

- Get 2 mags full off of 1 CO2 tank, could be good for a blowback I suppose, but it's good to have a second mag.
- HEAVY!!! Very heavy, that could be a pro for some.
- Must buy a large pistol holster, regular holsters wont work.
- I you have a drop leg holster, you can't run.. lol.

For realism and good field play, well worth it! Make sure to buy lots of CO2, a second or third mag, and a large holster!

"AMAZING GUN. Ive wanted to get this gun for two years now but whenerver I tried it was out of stock. I recieved it in the mail on the day of my families christmas party. I made almost EVERy relative shoot it and they were all jumping from how much kick it had!

Pros:
-Hard Kick
-Realistic Weight
-Accurate
-Huge Barrel(I Like It)

Cons:
-Scratches Easily
-Select Fire gets a little hard to push after a while

I Rate this gun 4 Stars and Highly Recommend this to my fellow airsofters

"Just bought this gun from the boneyard for 30$, the slide wouldnt cock back but that was an easy fix. After that it was great, put a co2 in it and was amazed at the kick back. Its a BEAST! I was really surprised on the gas consumption, I get abot 2-3 1/2 mags on one co2, and with a 21 round capacity its decent. Its pretty heavy but you get used to it. but the only thing that i dont like is that you need a special rench to change the co2. also, the fully auto isnt really fully auto, its more of a three round burst. but i prefer that.

pros:
-great gas consumption
-hard kick-back
-very intimidating

cons:
-pretty heavy
-can irrtate your hand when holding it for a long time
-magazine needs a special rench to change co2

"Got this gun not long ago, and it is a fun gun but I can't field it. A pistol shooting at 410 FPS is simply not worth anything. No field is going to let you use it.

Parts are hard to find, holsters are rare, mag pouches are as well. Ultimately it becomes a show piece and nothing more because you can't field it.

Performance is what you would expect. With heavy ammo it can reach out surprisingly far (The FPS helps with that) but you can only get about 2 1/2 mags before the CO2 needs replaced. The kick is nice and crisp but the full auto feels like it is going to shake the gun to pieces (and from other reviews, it would)

TL;DR fun gun but unfield-able due to high FPS

"i have a love-hate relationship with this gun. on the one hand, when i pull it out, its massive size, massive fps, and massive sound make my enemies cower at my feet. on the other hand, i struggle to get one mag per cartridge, it struggles to chamber (IE the slide will need to be pushed forward manually to remove a bb from the mag and seat it), and it doesnt fit in any holster.

"So, overall, not a bad gun. Mine did have one glaring issue. I've gotten to use the gun twice now, but the second time I went to use it at an indoor park, it capped out on the chrono at 529 fps. I was unable to use it because of the power it was using. That also was the second shot evaluation on the chrono. Can't find a way to adjust the power, but hoping its possible.

"Coolest airsoft gun I have ever owned but it has problems feeding bbs out of the box and the slide doesn't always lock back when out of ammo.

"I will be honest, when I got this gun out of the box it was crisp and clean, the only problem was full auto didn't work at all. whenever I shot it full auto it would shoot like 2 shots then jam, but thats just my personal experience. besides that problem though it was great, it shot with the accuracy of a sniper and would keep a constant accuracy until around the last few shots but it is still a small difference. you can get through around 3 mags on the same co2 cartridge before you see noticeable changes in bullet drop. the other problem I have had with it is now it won't shoot at all, it will blow back but nothing will come out. idk if that was bad maintenance on my part or what. now after all that the other thing is finding a holster. the gun is huge, it is around 11-12 inches depending where you measure from the top.

"well i bought this pistol but instead of the imi one i got the one that says magnum research inc. and thats all it says. Im not at all unhappy i love the thing just wish i got the imi one not the regular one. it is a gas hog but with the kick it has thats to be expected.
