This product was manufactured and sold by the Nelson Paint Company for a couple of decades fulfilling its rather limited function.

Desert Eagle, named intelligently, for its long distance shots just like an eagle's sight (it can fire up to 200 meters) is one of the rare pistols that work without any barrel movement.
