Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Total" by Flopa touch on the fleeting nature of life and how we should appreciate the present. The opening line "vendrá como la primera vez" translates to "It will come like the first time," which could refer to a significant event or person that re-enters our lives. The following line "envuelta en luz la mirada" translates to "the gaze wrapped in light," which could symbolize the purity of the moment. The next line "que ha de cegarme y llegar a dormirse a tiempo" translates to "that will blind me and come to sleep on time," which indicates that the moment should be cherished before it fades away.

The chorus "es puro, es mágico, es fácil llegar a ver lo que no hace falta mirar, total... sólo son momentos" translates to "it's pure, it's magical, it's easy to see what you don't need to look for, total... they're just moments." The repetition of "sólo son momentos" emphasizes the fleeting nature of life and how important it is to cherish every moment.

The verse "una pesadilla que quedó sin soñar un misterio que abre una grieta y se va, sólo son momentos total... sólo son momentos" translates to "a nightmare that remains un-dreamt, a mystery that opens a crack and leaves, they're just moments, total... they're just moments." This verse highlights how some experiences can leave a lasting impact, while others are just passing moments that we may forget.

Overall, "Total" encourages us to appreciate the present and cherish every moment, whether it's a significant event or just a passing experience.

As a gun enthusiast and collector, I have to disagree agree with the DE being a flop.
It was never supposed to be a replacement for more run of the mill hand guns. No one ever expected it to out sale the glock19 , beretta 92 , 1911, s&w29, ext, ext.
It’s a gun designed for a very niche market and has done well on that market. If the gun was a flop, one could expect to see 2 things.
1. Short production life
2. Very low resale value
Neither of those things happened with the DE.

I own a mk1. I will say that it’s heavy and VERY finicky on the ammo it likes to shoot. It’s definitely not my EDC. It is however VERY accurate and much softer to shot then my .44mag revolvers.
I can say this.......mines not for sale, and I think a lot of the other DE owners would agree.

For gods sake, even non gun people know what a Desert eagle is when they see one. It’s probably one of the most recognizable handguns ever made.

I can’t call that a flop.

I find that the recoil on mine which is properly chambered in 50AE, is the exact same as the recoil on my Glock 30 which is chambered in 45acp but with a short barrel. Also I feel the hit of the Deagle more when firing with 2 hands rather than one handed which kind of makes no sense but it definitely feels more natural and comfortable shooting one handed.

Such a weird gun...yeah, one handed is generally better despite what the manufacturer states.

The only difference in the entire transcript is the omission of the word "blockbuster" near the beginning.

For the first time I only put in one bullet just in case , but she enjoyed it after the initial shock wore off , it does still make a lot of noise and it is a little heavy weight-wise 😆. Because the Desert Eagle is gas operated , it absorbs a lot of the felt recoil .
I would have to guess that if you're worried about recoil and being the most enjoyable , the .357 mag would probably be the best as it is a lot lighter bullet with less recoil . .357 mag ammo seems to be slightly cheaper than .44 mag ammo .

Good point, but I think the video's point was that it was considered a flop as it's use in the military and police force is very limited due to the ammo simply costing too much. The DE sits in this weird no mans land where it's too slow and heavy to be a good quick draw side arm and even though it's got good range and accuracy, a rifle can do the same job cheaper and better. It's a nitch product for people rich enough to afford the ammo, like a Mob Boss or a War Lord.

I had hoped when I first heard about the Baby Eagle that it would be a scaled down Desert Eagle, unfortunately it has very little to do with the Desert Eagle. I wish Magnum Research would scale down the DE to be a normal full size pistol for a more practical caliber like 9mm. Is there any really reason to do that, no, but the DE looks cool. The way the DE works and looks is unique and iconic, but the DE is so bulky and has the ergonomics of a brick. Basically, give me a DE that is the size of a normal gun and chamber it in 9mm. Just because

As impractical as it is for EDC use, it's ingenuity is insane. Had the Deagle gone for a more traditional straight-blowback design, it would've weighed a lot more and have more felt recoil. Being gas-operated with a rotating bolt and fixed/pinned barrel means that it's also surprisingly accurate for a pistol, especially when using the .44 Magnum version.
That Pic-Rail and optional sight/scope isn't just a meme. A little bit of practice with this thing and you could be hitting shots that most people would use a small rifle for.

I purchased one when 44 Mag became available, and sold it after a few years. The 50 A E. didn't interest me much, but when 440 Corbon became available, offering greater energy and flatter trajectory, I became a Desert Eagle shooter again. I then got a 50 A E. barrel because a barrel swap was all it took to shoot a different caliber. The grip was a little large for perfect fit but I was more annoyed by the awkward forward and up pivot of the safety, as on a traditional double action. It was reliable, accurate, and pleasant to shoot. I'm glad that neither the 6" or 10" barrel was ported. Recoil wasn't bad and they were loud enough anyway.

@jeffthompson9622

@Doc Holliday Corbon's claimed muzzle velocity for some ammo was 1800 feet per second from a 6" barrel, which exceeds any 50 A.E. load I know of. Bottleneck and tapered cartridges have some reloading issues, but there can be feeding benefits, although my 50 A E. fed fine in my limited use of it. I will admit that 50 A E. is better distributed. The ballistic similarity you mentioned sounds like a more recent cartridge whose name I don't recall that is somewhat toned down from 440.

It was surprisingly well-mannered in terms of recoil, somewhere between my 9mm and my .45; I expect the sheer mass helped, but even one handed it tracked straighg back to my shoulder in recoil.

Great presentation, but the only part that I can see in the video that you can call a "flop" is in regard to arming a military or law enforcement with this firearm. To my knowledge, Magnum research never tried to do. for the most part, Magnum Research markets this firearm for recreational shooting and in recent years as a hunting pistol. Please let me know if I messed anything.

Interesting, but I wish the video had given some explanation as to why they considered the Desert Eagle a "total flop". The closest I've seen was that it wasn't adopted by any military or police force. So, a weapon which is aparently popular enough with civilian markets to remain in production for nearly 40 years is a flop because it never saw popularity outside those markets?

A couple corrections. Revolvers are usually more intricate than magfed slide pistols. The reason that revolvers are the go-to high caliber handgun is because you don't have to wrap your hand around the bullets inside of a magazine inside of your receiver and grip. The bullets are outside of your grip, letting you chamber longer rounds that find service as rifle rounds, or shotgun shells. But usually there are less intricately timed moving parts in a standard pistol and less springs and levers than you'd find in a typical revolver.

Thank you for your time reading this, to everyone reading, and good video, if the producers see this.

@crangismcbasketball5243

2y↑3

The reason that revolvers are the go-to high caliber handguns is that a .357 or .44 magnum handgun is a lot smaller than a Desert Eagle or Automag.

Also, you can't and shouldn't try to chamber rifle ammunition in a typical revolver unless you want a catastrophe to happen.

@initial_C

49w↑3

Revolvers are marginally more simple to operate, maybe that's what they were trying to get across. Under the skin they're like clocks.

The other reason is that revolver frames are usually a lot more robust than semi-autos.

An additional correction is that most modern pistols don't use blowback, they use Browning-style recoil action.

@JohnCastleSmokeless

24w

Correct. Calibers like .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum might be used in some rifles (chiefly lever-action rifles) but they're still considered revolver calibers. The grey area is in calibers like .45-70 Government, which can be chambered in certain rare revolvers, but is primarily a rifle caliber.@@crangismcbasketball5243

@Kikker861

0:25 Autoloaders with .45 ACP and similar cartridges have been around long before the Desert Eagle. The reason we don't see .357 S&W and .44 Magnum in them is due to them being rimmed cartridges to better suit revolvers over magazines, not necessarily because of their stopping power.

I own the Mk XIX in 44 mag finished in polished chrome. IMHO, the two things I hate the most about this gun is that because it's almost as heavy as some rifles, it makes it potentially less effective than say a 1911, which could be drawn and fired numerous times before you could even draw and aim the DE. Another problem I didn't like is that it has a higher jam rate than any other pistol I've ever used. This problem was drastically improved when the maker sent me new recoil springs but it still does it from time to time and it can be unsettling when you're removing .44 mag stovepipes with recoil springs that powerful. It isn't a gun I'd recommend for a first time gun buyer but to each their own, I suppose.

Great video. I didn't know about the jacketed bullets being required so as not to clog the gas port.
While mostly true, it's not strictly true that before the Desert Eagle, to use heavy calibre rounds, a revolver was required. There was the Coonan .357 automatic and the Automag. Both were niche and with the latter being an apparently poorly designed gun which is seeing something of a renaissance now given it was properly redesigned recently.

@JeffKlavir

I called it the "Friendly Gun". Whenever I went to the range with mine, people came over to see what made that crazy boom. Because of the rotating and locking bolt, it sends a slug with way more energy then a wheel gun. Just make sure you use the right ammo or the slide will not cycle right.

@mrfancypants29

I have fired the .50 Desert Eagle at an indoor firing range while stationed at Camp Pendleton. It truly is a hand cannon. I had to keep my body stiff to guard against recoil. If my wrists weren't kept locked, the brass is ejected straight up and will hit you in the forehead. You'll come out with black marks where brass hit you. It has what appears to be a rifle bolt in it. One drawback was that it would double feed cartridges and the slide would slide home on a live round. I didn't feel like having one of those go off in my hand when that happened. After about the 3rd time that happened I turned the weapon in and told them about it. They said ya it's been doing that lately...

I personally recommend any of the far cry games that feature the desert eagle. For a game that's a bit of a tactical shooter is going to feel a little bit more realistic and probably be closer to the real life firing of the desert eagle. Depending on which far cry you can modify it with like an extended barrel or a suppressor.

There is also rainbow six siege, but the desert eagle is exclusive to only a couple of operators. I went to his detection of that game you're better off playing any single player game featuring that weapon.

And of course it's also featured in call of duty but for a game that's very arcadey, don't expect any accuracy to that weapon except for maybe in modern warfare 1 -3 the reboots. But at least in the call of duty franchise it can be modified q bit more. It's also pretty decent and cod mobile which has that balance of realism while still being an arcade game when it comes to the weapons. Also if you're one of those people that's been crying for Black ops 2 to make a return, the game is literally Black ops 2 but with advanced warfare & modern warfare assets. Literally, it is literally, I don't mean in the hyperbolic sense, I mean it's literally Black ops 2 if you took some of the guns and some of the scorestreaks from advancing modern warfare and just shoved them into Black ops 2. But on your phone.
