Which Counter-Strike weapon is commonly called the “Deagle”?

The Counter-Strike weapon commonly called the “Deagle” is the Desert Eagle.

The Desert Eagle is a powerful semi-automatic pistol available in Counter-Strike. Its nickname is a shortened form of the weapon’s name, and players commonly use “Deagle” in conversation, strategy guides, and esports commentary. It is especially known for high damage and accurate headshots, although its recoil, price, and limited magazine make it demanding to use.

The real Desert Eagle is a family of gas-operated pistols developed by Magnum Research and associated with Israel Military Industries, later Israel Weapon Industries. Counter-Strike adapts the weapon for gameplay rather than reproducing every real-world specification exactly.

The Deagle is not the same as a revolver or a standard starting pistol. In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2, it occupies the pistol category and is purchased during the buy phase. The nickname is also unrelated to the Glock-18, the usual terrorist starting pistol.
