    Anyone know if there is a full metal Desert Eagle?

    I was planning on buying the one with the metal slide from AirsoftEire since
    there is 10% discount this weekend but it was out of stock. Surfing about
    all the Irish online stores with Desert Eagles are out of stock,

    I was one ideally all metal or at the very least a metal slide, I want
    to use propane and simply want all the metal I can have as I am not a fan
    of all ABS airsoft stuff.

    Here here boo-urns to abs stuff.

    the scope on a desert eagle thread guy sean has it done up to full metal, if you were to ask him.

    I was just saying today to the GF id get a D eagle if it were available in metal with plenty of kick.

    Ive got the KWC all metal DE. Its a beauty. Allmost 1KG with the mag loaded.

    Still havnt gotten around to getting a holster so havnt skirmished with it yet. Can take green gas as thats what ive been using all along. Didnt lube my mag for ages and one of the seals leakes perodically.....purly my fault but this is where another problem arises. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get spare mags for it. Lad at airsofteire said they would have that models mags in soon so the second they are im gonna buy 2 or 3 as no one else has them!

    Great gun, perhaps a little chunky. I would recomend it.

    I thought the lower receiver was abs, is it full metal now?

    Would make sense from a manufacturers point of view.

    No, you're right, the lower frame is ABS, but you'd swear the whole thing was metal. It's bizarre that the Marui Hard Kicks weigh the exact same and it's made from ABS. Both models are just over 1kg.

    And KWC could indeed call their Desert Eagles Hard Kicks too, there really is one hell of a punch out of them, even with cold green gas, warm it up a bit and it's highly impressive.

    Purely for information purposes, we do indeed hope to have more mags and KWCs in by the end of January. We had Eagle's in stock, but the sale is clearing us out. :)

    Technically its all metal.....theres a textured grip made of plastic over the metal frame for the handle. Most of the weight is in the clip IMA.

    Will buy once in stock again. I am guessing the ABS is like the MAC11 abs
    which is quite good. Still dont like the idea of a plastic trigger guard.

    Yea you can "upgrade" the TM Deagle to ALL metal only plastic is grip part, zeke do the metal silde and frame for it, heavy fitting required though got to take the whole damn thing to bits which isnt the easiest when using the a Japanese manual:mad:

    The KWC DE is a great piece, sounds awesome too hehe

    Digital Warhouse sell TM full metal desert eagles but the handle grip is abs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Thats simply not true. The TM chrome Desert eagle is ABS as well. That site is misleading and also, Christ 325 euro, rip off merchants.

    The Desert Eagle .50ae on Digital Warehouse is a TM Desert Eagle which means it's ABS plastic. Unless they got one with a metal slide on it somehow. It's worth US$140 (about €95) and they're charging €325 plus shipping.

    Can we just all agree never to talk about/buy any thing from DW?
