Desert Eagles in Charlies Angels2?

Direwolf · 06-19-2003, 07:15 PM

Ok the first time I saw the previews for Charlies Angels 2, it had a short but fairly close up clip of Demi Moore firing about 6-8 rounds out of what looks to be a pair of Desert Eagles...not sure which caliber but the bore looked larger than 9mm. I cannot think of any other handgun maker that would fit the profile for the pistols that she was firing. If they were not Desert Eagles, what were they because it has been bothering me every time I see one of the previews from that movie.

Can I get some input from anyone else cause I know that a Desert Eagle 50AE or even 44mag creates a chitload of recoil two-handed and I cannot imagine how bad someone's wrist would hurt after trying to fire one-handed, let alone a "weaker" person like Demi Moore.

Cameron Diaz could hold my "Desert Eagle" any day!

You sir are a gun nut and Cameron does not like gun nuts.... alas, this is also a dilemma she would foist upon me.

Oh well, there is always Ann Coulter and the like....

I find it really annoying when films are unrealistic, I would have a hard time firing the twin DE like Demi did, and I'm physically fitter than her!

Woot someone finally agrees wit me about the duel DEs. Now if they were the small caliber eagles, MAYBE(and a very very slim maybe) she could fire them one handed. I can pretty confidently say that there is no chance in hell that Demi Moore could fire any desert eagle, no matter which caliber, one handed in the real world.

Hollywood however is in a world of it's own so I suppose if you can fire a DE one handed in Hollywood world anything is possible. Maybe i should visit Hollywood world so I can be able to bench press a car or fire a .50cal BMG on full auto when it's slung over my shoulder mowing down all the bad guys in sight while walking through an open field where bullets are hitting everything in sight except me. Im easily bigger than Demi Moore so it should be possible right?

I'll go to hollywood as long as I get one of those 50 shot revolvers like the lone ranger used to have.

Bought a 50 barrel for the XIX DE over a month ago and haven't shot it. Got to get to the range and see what the hub-ub is about...
