Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Desert eagle,weight,finish,power
Cons:	greyish finish, low kick, fairly expensive ( tm only a little more)

Well i got this as part of a swap so new i dont know how much it is, im guessing around �100

i didnt recieve the box, loading tool or anything for it so i cant say anything about those.

I will be comparing it mostly to the TM hardkick version

Looks

Having owned the TM chrome version and seen the black i thought that this still had quite a good finish. Its a greyish colour which im not sure is like the real one though, however its solidly made, but pretty plasticy in feel compared to the TM, (TM to me feels alot more solid and more "metalic"). The slide on mine reads "model eagle.50ae pistol", underneath that it says "kien well industrie co.. ltd (KWC)". The grip also has a KWC logo and not the real logo like on TM version )

operation

this gun has adjustable hop-up ( same place as the TM version ), also has 24 rounds in the mag and can take green with no problems at all. the safety is good with a nice click as you use it.

the mag however is different from any gbb ive seen (KJW, KSC, KWA, TM ) because you cant see the bbs going done the mag, looking from the front is just the same as the back,(just like an aeg mag ), you can only see the top bbs, which i think is good because it looks a little better knowing you cant see the bbs. overall its basically the same as TM in function

Firing

This gun takes green gas no problems so thats a massive plus for me. Loading it is the same as any other pistol ( the loading tool probably would help alot more however)

SO to fire just fill the mag up insert into the gun, rack the slide and pull the trigger. The blowback is the first thing ill be mentioning, it is just average, i tested this against my kwa g23f full metal and the kick on the g23 is more. so compared to TM this is prob half maybe less. However where the kick suffers is where the power is, this gun is more powerful than the TM version, ive read reports of up to 380 fps on green gas on warm days. However due to me not having any .20 and a can i cant really say <img src="http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/reviewpost/images/smile.gif" alt="Smile" /> ( or a chrono)

Range and accuracy are pretty good, but again not as good as the TM

Overall

Id only buy this gun if you dont care about the trades, and only want power. EVERYTHING else the TM has is better, finish, weight, range, accuracy, kick

However for the lower price ( not sure how much lower ) it is still worth it in my opinion

hope i didnt miss anything, if i did PM me with any more questions

verdict : get the TM if your a collector or KWC for skirmishing
