The Deagle is a semi-automatic handgun chambered in .357 rounds. Commonly found around towns, it has two variants; a standard silver finish, and an ostentatious gold variant.
Overview[ | ]
The Deagle is a semi-automatic pistol found in DayZ. The Deagle has 3 more bullets in a magazine and can also have 1 bullet chambered for a total of 10 rounds in comparison to the 6 total of the Revolver. Reloading is also faster than the Revolver, with the Deagle being magazine fed instead of loading each round individually into a cylinder.

The Deagle is capable of knocking out unarmored survivors with a single shot to the chest from a range of 160m. It is quite rare, supports attachments, uses common ammunition, and sports relatively high damage compared to other pistols in the game.
