OK, so i'm bored.

M4 and AK have been done, and no one cares about the mac-10 (Which I gave up using once I joined <TI> since there is no need for a mac-10 during scrims)

I know i'm not the best Deagle user, and if you have any input, then just post and i'll add.

Cost: $650
Ammo: $200 (5 extra clips)
Clip: 7 Bullets

The great thing about the deagle is that it is very strong. We're talking rifle strong at short - medium. This thing will kill in one hit. Even with Kevlar + Helmet. A short it should do about 150 with Helmet, 200 without. At long about 130 with and 180 without. At long range, with helmet, it will do 98.. and without about 113. (These are approximate)

At close range, I find it is best to just keep accurately clicking at the opponents head. This means clicking 7 times rapidly to kill them.

At medium range, I like to do a 2 shot burst. I will aim for the head and click once, then twice. Wait about 2 seconds, and again do the same. If they are shooting back at me, I will throw in a little strafe, and an extra shot here and there so I don't get too calm and let them mess me up.

At long range I really like to take my time and slowly take them out. What I mean is, you shoot, strafe, re-aim, shoot, strafe, re-aim.. etc. Standing still if they see you is bad since chances are they will have a rifle and just pick you off. If by change they don't see you, don't MOVE AT ALL. The gun is (like all) more accurate when standing still. If you have a steady Hand, and good reflexes, chances are you will kill them with 1 or 2 shots (depending on distance).

I also find the deagle to train your calm in battle. What I mean is, if you have a rifle, chances are in a close combat situation you will go full auto. If you use a deagle, you can't do this. It's a semi-auto handgun. If you can stay calm, shoot those 7 bullets you will do good. Then next time you pick up a rifle, you'll notice that you are capable of not spraying to kill, but accurately just taking out your strafing foe.

Key Points: Calm, cool, and collective. You must remain calm in the heat of battle.

Cheap! The deagle is cheap!

Powerful! Packs the power of a rifle, for 1/5 the cost!

And, with every gun, aim for the head. Aim small, miss small.

Enjoy.

Sidenote: If this doesn't help you, don't tell me that. I don't care, it's meant to help those new to the deagle.

I've actually started using the deagle more.

I like it for the medium to medium-long range. P90 for everything else :rockon:

But it's very nice even in close combat, come around the corner BAM reflex headshot or body shot for 50 or more damage. Then spray and pray :D
