================================================================================================
Overview:
    Created by Defiance industries, the Desert Eagle was built primarily to function in warmer
    battlefields, hence its name. Although not to impressive, it scored notable points on its
    early testing, especially in heated environments. The chassis employs a number of improved
    designs, such as new cockpit stabilization system allowing the pilot to control the mech and
    view the battlefield with greater ease. Adding to its heat dissipative advantage is a
    specialized coolant distribution system, giving it a more efficient flowage of coolant to
    flush systems and its heat sinks, furthering its ability to withstand extreme heat. The LRM
    10 launchers are built with 18 tubes, allowing it to rapidly fire continuous volleys,
    because the tubes alternate reloading and firing. It also is covered in a decent amount of
    protective layer of ArcShield VII Mk 5 armor. Its main weapons, twin Rotary Autocannon,
    generate little heat and have a decant range. The mech also has thick armor, except for on
    its back, emphasizing its need for cover from other team-mates to make it an effective
    design.

Capabilities:
    This mech's primary weapons are two Rotary Autocannons, which are best employed at a medium
    range. Adding to its effective range are a pair of shoulder-mounted LRM-10 launchers, and if
    an enemy should get too close ER small lasers are added to its offensive capability. This
    mech would work best in a team-support role, adding its ranged firepower to the effort of
    other mechs as well.

Variants:
    One of the Desert Eagle variants drops the RAC-5s and the small lasers in favor of two
    Mauser-F66 light gauss rifles and the LRM's remain.
