Quick answer
The Deagle is a powerful semi-automatic handgun chambered in .357 Rounds. It has higher damage than most pistols, faster reloads than the Revolver, and a magazine-fed setup that gives it more shots before reloading. It is rare, but its strong damage, common ammunition type, and attachment support make it one of the best sidearms in DayZ.
