Robocop was a pretty good movie. In the movie, Clarence Bodiker uses a Desert Eagle and at the point he kills the OCP exec, he puts a silencer on his desert eagle to shoot him quietly... (even though moment later he uses a grenade to blow up the entire house).
Is there really a silencer for the Desert Eagle? The one Clarence had looked as if it was made specifically for the Desert Eagle - as if Magnum Research inc had designed it to be an add on.

If you live in the USA, it is not hard to own a silencer. There are no federal laws forbidding civilian ownership, you just need to pay the tax before making one or buying. Just live in one of the 35 states that allow civilian ownership, get the local sheriff to sign the atf form 4 (to buy), or the atf form 1 (to make), then send it in with photos, fingerprints, and a $200 check for the tax.
Any silencer made from steel, and of the right caliber (.357, .44, .50) will work on the desert eagle. A gunsmith will need to install an extended barrel. The front sight will have to be moved back, and the muzzle threaded to hold the silencer in place.
If you are expecting for "hollywood performance" in a silencer, then you may be dissappointed. A powerful center fire handgun will still be at least 130 decibels with the silencer attached, but the good news is that even a noise this loud is likey to be 100 to 1000 (20 to 30 db) times less noisey than the gun without the silencer.
The word silencer is a legal term (anything intended to reduce the report of a firearm), and a marketing gimmick first used by Maxim to promote his first firearms suppressors (or moderators). This is why most silencer owners call them suppressors, or cans. They sure as heck do not make any lethal firearm silent.

Yes, there are suppressors made for .50 caliber Desert Eagles. I'm sure you could find one browsing online auction sites, like GunBroker, or firearm retailers, such as ImpactGuns. You'll need to go through some hoops to be able to buy and legally own one, I'm sure the members of the Hunting forum (where firearm questions belong) could inform you about. EDIT: Or ranb40 can. +1

Outlawing suppressors is pure crap. Now I have to listen to noise complaints when shooting on my own property. This is hilarious. No weapon can be silenced without subsonic ammo anyways and subsonic ammo is weak as dogshit. Politicians have been watching too much TV.

About anything can be made if you have plenty of money, and the maker, the seller, and the buyer don't mind that it violates federal law and can get each of them a long sentence in the federal penitentiary.
