Trivia

• Wasteland Hawk is based on the famous Desert Eagle pistol.
• The Desert Eagle was designed for use with large pistol calibers such as .50AE, .44 magnum, .357 magnum and others. It was never produced in 9mm, another pistol was made for that caliber called the Baby Eagle. However, both pistols look very different, it is impossible to confuse them.
