Hi, I'm new at the forum and I hope you guys can enlight me about the Umarex Desert Eagle CO2 pellet gun. Although I own a Beretta 92F and a Colt Officer 45ACP, I also have own several pellet guns for practice at home and for fun. I've read good and bad things about the Desert Eagle pellet gun, mostly good. Pros: close to the real thing, recoil, real time action, power, accuracy, etc. Cons: too big if you have small hands, ABS plastic, CO2 cartridge usage.

My concern really is about the steel barrel and accuracy. Normally, a steel "rifled" barrel would be better in accuracy than a smooth non-rifled barrel in BBs/Pellets. Nowhere in the web have I read anything about the rifling of the Desert Eagle barrel. Does anyone know if in fact is "rifled". Any other comments about this pellet gun is welcomed.
