Whats the diffrence between a desert eagle 44 mag and a desert eagle 50 cal?

Really? One is a 50 caliber, and one is a 44 caliber. Look "caliber" up online if you aren't familiar with the term.

seriously? one shoots the .44 remingtion magnum cartridge and the other shoots the .50 action express cartridge. the .50 ae is derived from the .44 magnum. the .50 ae has the same rim dimensions as the .44 magnum but the case is larger. the only thing required to change a .44 magnum desert eagle into a .50 ae is a barel and magazine change.

On the gun? Very little actually. Barrel and magazine to be specific. The cartridges? A lot, see below (sorry for the long read). The .44mag Desert Eagle is obviously chamber for the .44 mag cartidge. The "50 cal" Desert Eagle is chambered for the .50 AE or Action Express cartridge. The .50 AE has a rebated rim that is the same diameter and thickness as the rim on the .44 mag. This means that the bolt face on the slide is the same for both weapons. The .50 AE requires a larger barrel and magazine to work. If you own a .44 mag Desert Eagle, you can convert the gun to shoot .50 AE by changing the barrel & mag. The opposite is true if you own a .50 and wish to convert to .44 The recoil is significantly more with the .50 AE than the .44 but not unmanageable. The bullets with the .50 AE are generally around 300 grains and have a muzzle velocity of around 1,380 feet per second (with a 6-inch barrel). This gives the bullet 1,260-plus foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. A common 44. mag loading of 240 gr bullet at 1,180 ft/s produces 741 foot pounds of energy. By increasing to near max load the .44 mag can push a 240 gr JHP at 1,542 ft/s and produce 1,267 foot pounds of energy. Max load on a .50 AE will push a 325gr bullet at approx 1430 feet per second, and will produce 1,478 foot pounds of energy. This means the .50 AE is producing 17% more energy than the .44 mag.

desert eagle .44 mag denotes that the pistol is chambered to fire the .44 magnum catridge. desert eagle .50 cal means the pistol is chambered to fire the .50 Action Express round (also known short as .50 AE) the .50 AE has more power than the .44 magnum but at the cost of less ammo per mag and more recoil. (7 rounds vs 8 rounds) The pistols are designed to be interchangable so all you need is a barrel change and use different magazines and you can fire different rounds. desert eagles also come in .357 magnum and .41 magnum, which packs less punch than the .44 mag but has less recoil and more rounds per mag. (9 rounds and 8 rounds respectively)

In the models - "Mark I" - and in the "Mark VII" no 50 cal available. In the "Mark XIX" - This is what MRI says on the Eagle: The entire Mark XIX Component System is based on a single platform. With its gas operation, rotating bolt and all-steel construction, this is the heart of the firearm. Once you’ve purchased a Mark XIX Desert Eagle Pistol, you can change the barrel length or the caliber in seconds, if you have the appropriate Mark XIX components on hand. The Mark XIX Desert Eagle Pistol offers true interchangeability. Six different pistols are available — .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum or .50 A.E., each with a 6-inch or 10-inch barrel. Purchase one pistol and you have the platform to build the other five with a simple switch of components (barrel, magazine and sometimes bolt assembly).
