Re: Subject: [HOE] Desert Eagle = ultimate wasteland gun

Not that easy.

The gun can fire all those rounds but not from the same gun.

To change the setup you pull the slide action.  Drop the barrel, and then
the barrel and recoil spring.  Then put in the new caliber barrel and
spring.  Then change out the clip out.  I'm not sure if you actually have to
change out the internal parts.  It wouldn't make sense to have to though.
Maybe the hammer, or a longer firing pin.

The .357 and .38 are the same caliber bullet, that is why you can shoot 38's
in a 357 gun.  The 357 round is longer (more powder, more power) than the 38
round so you can't to 357 from a 38.  So in theory this gun will shoot 38's
too, but I don't know if they have the recoil to cycle the weapon.  The 357
has some kick, the 38 doesn't.

If you want to fire bullets from a larger barrel be my guest.  You'll only
get the force from the powder charge.  There will be no direction, and no
spin, so don't expect to hit anything.  But zip guns aren't really long
range weapons.

For the gun with all the barrels, and a nice box/carring case I'd call that
AT LEAST a 2 pointed, probably a 3.
