American Eagle

"This All-American design of the world-famous Desert Eagle sports an even more powerful bang, a perfect accompaniment to the Stars and Stripes adorning this iconic hand-cannon. It is sold exclusively between July 2nd, 2010 and July 5th 2010."

The American Eagle is a special limited edition cosmetic variant of the Desert Eagle SE, specifically made for the July 4th celebration. The gun features an American theme; it is adorned with stars and stripes. This variant is only available between July 2, 2010 and July 5, 2010. This gun is on par with the Desert Eagle SE, although it appears to have a slightly faster firing rate than a regular Desert Eagle SE. Although, it is a cosmetic variant of the desert eagle, this gun's nickname is still the deagle, regardless of the changed name.

This limited edition weapon was once again on sale for the October 2010 Pistol Month sale on 13/10/2010, at the price of 9900 NX for 90 days.

Variants

 * Desert Eagle (GP Standard variant)
 * Desert Eagle SE (NX Standard variant)
 * Desert Eagle Black (GP Rare variant)
 * Desert Eagle Gold (NX Rare variant)

Trivia

 * The eagle is the national bird of the United States, making American Eagle a witty name for this limited-edition Desert Eagle variant. The wittiness is furthered by the fact that it was created for the Fourth of July.
 * The American Eagle features the number "76" written in white on the back of the gun. This is an obvious reference to the year 1776, the year the US gained its independence from Great Britain.
 * As with all the Desert Eagle variants, the side of the gun will say "Desert Eagle .50 AE Military Industries".
 * During 9/3/10 to 9/6/10, if you played 30 matches of Capture the Flag, you could get a 1 day American Eagle.
 * This gun was on sale from 10/13/2010 until the next patch for 9,900 NX for 90 days.
 * Because the American Eagle is constantly being made available again (albeit without the option of purchasing it permanently), those who bought it permanently are questioning its "Limited Edition" status.
 * The draw animation is similar to the Desert Eagle SE. However, it is flipped out at an angle as opposed to the Deagle SE which is flipped vertically.
 * There is a EXTREMLY small chance to 1 hit a person with this gun (less than 5%) at close-medium ranges.
 * This gun returned from July 28th to July 4th 2011 as a permanent sidearm for 9,900 nx, further questioning its "limited edition" status.
