In the post below, I discussed some of the toys that I came across at my local gun store. Now I want to show you a real live, honest to goodness firearm that I could have sworn was a toy when I first saw it.
(Please click on all pictures to see if a larger image is available.)
That is a tiger striped Desert Eagle chambered for the .50 AE cartridge. The $1600.00 USD price tag was the only thing that convinced me I was looking at an actual weapon instead of some plastic monstrosity that is supposed to be bought for the kiddies.
Anyone buying such a gun is trying to send a clear message. That message is "I am the greasiest and most tasteless pimp that ever graced the streets!"

I want one.
Just add mother of pearl grips, and it will be complete.

Maybe so, but if I won one in a gun lottery I'd still keep it. I could probably even afford to buy ammo for it once a year.

Dude! It's a Deagle! All it lacks is beamz! (That is, a laser aiming device.)
It's not often I say things like this, but if that weapon were crushed, I don't think I'd shed a tear.
And Kristopher? It needs fake Mother of Pearl grips.
Pink ones.
