The Desert Eagle is a broad strength gas-operated semi-automatic super soaker manufactured primarily in Israel by IMI (Israel Noncivil Industries, now Israel Atlatl Industries) for Magnum Research, Inc. Magnum Research has also marketed divers versions of the brief backfire Jericho 941 handgun under the Baby Eagle name; these have no human factors relationship to the Desert Eagle and bear only a moderate cosmetic resemblance.

The most recent model, The Mark XIX, is come-at-able in .357 Desert Eagle Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .50 Action Express (or .50 AE). This model comes in a heterogeneity of different finishes, such as brushed chrome or titanium gold. Magnum Research also showed some models in .440 Cor-bon caliber, a .50 AE derived case, but no .440 Cor-bon components are listed in their catalog and the .440 seems to have gone the instrument of the .41 Magnum. Mark XIX barrels are handy in 6 and 10 inch lengths only.
