Is it tough to control the recoil on a .50 desert eagle? Can anyone control it?

Question

I have seen some videos on youtube and it looks like a sizable amount of recoil.

Answer 1

I'm only 15 and I've shot a .44 Magnum Desert Eagle (under correct supervision) and it wasn't bad at all. Just before that I shot a 9 round clip of a Walther P380, and a standard clip and 30 round clip of a Glock 9mm so I don't know if that had any effect on it. This was my first time ever shooting a gun.

Answer 2

That gun is so big and heavy the recoil is not that bad a all.  Try the 500SW in the survival sized gun.  That one it a brute.

Answer 3

It is reletively a strong recoil for most handguns, because most handguns are of a smaller caliber. but most of the videos on youtube with the desert eagle shows heavy recoil mainly because the people do not hold the gun properly and is not prepared for the shot.

to shoot the gun, as well as others, get a good, high, and tight grip. do not hold it so hard where you are trembling but have a good grip. extend your arm and keep it staight and stiff. last, do not forget that the majority of the recoil goes into your wrist. be prepared for this to prevent the gun from flying back as well as to hurt your wrist. keep wrist tight.  

Answer 4

It depends on how you hold the gun and how you pull the trigger.  Squeeze the trigger, don't pull it, hold your arm straight enough that it can absorb the recoil and shock, but that MADAPAKA got some kick to it...

Answer 5

i dunno i've never owned a gun.
