    As I recall the one I saw was chambered in .44mag and looked... well, like it was supposed to. Honestly it's been years-- it's a credit to the gun's uniqueness that I remember it at all.

    As for the Eagle and it's stovepiping... absolutely grip plays a large role. It wants to be fired with a stiff arm, anything but and it will screw you. After a few clips when your wrist started to get weak the malfunctions increased tenfold. It was also very picky when it came to ammo. Mine was chambered in .44mag. I have heard that in .50 it is much more reliable, but this is just chat, I have no idea how true this is.
    I dont fire mine with a "Stiff" arm i do use to hands slightly relaxed, and unless in a War why is there a need to fire multi magazines???
    mine is .50 caliber AE Action Express and is wonderful have never had any problems with it.

    Uuuhhhh... for practice and fun? I like to shoot accurately and be familiar with all of my firearms. With hands relaxed it gave me problems. I fired thousands of rounds through it before giving up. I got a feeling for what worked and what didn't. With ammo it didn't like it couldn't even go though a clip without a hiccup. With the right ammo and a stiff wrist it was pretty reliable. "Pretty reliable" still isn't good enough for me. I want it to work every time. So I'm spoiled. Seriously, I have lots of practice shooting. Lots. This thing was at least a lemon if it wasn't a representation of the line. Glad yours works.
