Desert Eagle Bolt
I will reiterate again, that much of this post is based on my observations and shouldn't be deemed anything but speculation.
The reason I think the Desert Eagle works with the .44 Rem Mag is because it is a gas system.
What shocked me most about inspecting this gun is that the the bolt face looks almost identical to an AR-15 bolt face. It has the same weird looking locking-bolt chamber (that was a little difficult to photgraph without breaking down the gun.) The gun has no ejection port; instead the entire chamber and breech is exposed while ejection takes place.
The barrel is integral in the slide and moves with the cycle. The motherfucker is hard to rack.
