First, I've noticed a lot of info about guns in a "Gun and Game" website. I guess I don't understand what kind of games are being mentioned, what's with that? What do "games" have to do with real guns? What kind of games are they?

Comparing a DE to an AR seems funny to me, lots of aluminum and plastic in the AR, the DE is all steel. I'd much rather have a Desert Eagle.

The truth is most of my guns are used for range toys, so in that arena the DE is as legitimate as my 1911's are. Once I have to hide it, or carry it very far things start to changed a bit as far as practicality goes.
