The Marines aren't special forces. Completely different. Besides, it's the Marines. They get the oldest and worst gear. Have you ever shot a Desert Eagle? If you have, you'll know exactly what I'm saying. You don't want recoil in a handgun. The more recoil, the more time between shots. You can't double-tap with a high recoil gun. Handguns are about accuracy, lightness, compactness, capacity, rof, and stopping power. The Desert Eagle only has stooping power. A .40 or .45 handgun would have all of the above. Or something like the FN Five Seven with the 5.7 super fast round. (+2,000 fps)
All the Desert Eagle is good for is bear hunting. But you better have a 12er with slugs too.
