Trivia[]

  • 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 declared 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".
  • 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 Desert Eagle SE which is flipped vertically.
  • The slide has the words "Desert Eagle .50AE Pistol Military Industries LTD (M.I)" engraved on it
  • This pistol shares the same draw, reloading and sprinting animations to the Walther P38.
