RE: [HOE] Desert Eagle = ultimate wasteland gun

["Joel Ashman" <joel.ashman@home.com>]

Agreed.  It is akin to  Beretta offering a 9mm, a .40, and a .45 in a
similar styled handgun.

That and the Desert Eagle is around $1000 (approx) new, 2000 dollars.  It
would be more expensive later, since manufacturing has ceased.

IIRC, the Desert Eagle can be *chambered* in those calibers. You only
get one choice with it. The barrel of the DE is essentially [again,
IIRC] an integral part of the gun and would be difficult to swap out, in
addition to the chamber, magazine, recoil springs, and would also
require a magazine adapter to fit the shorter cartidges.

The .440 Corbon is essentially a "wildcat" cartridge. A .44 shell with a
heavier bullet and higher power load, IIRC. It's kind of like a custom
round and difficult to find, unless you can find a good gunstore.
