Okay, you've asked a variation of this question a thousand times.
Generally, the larger the caliber, the more powerful the gun. Walther and Desert Eagle are two very different guns. In all cases the Desert Eagle is a larger caliber and is more powerful.
The Walther is a decent small gun popularized by James Bond. It is not very powerful relative to other guns used for self-defense which are larger caliber.

The power is not in the gun, but in the round it fires. The PPK fires the 9mm round (correct me if I'm wrong), while the Desert Eagle fires much more potent rounds such as the .44 magnum and the .50 Action Express. So in that sense, the Desert Eagle is much more powerful than the Walther.
But that's like comparing apples and oranges. The Walther is a service pistol and the Desert Eagle is an expensive, big honkin hunting pistol.

This time you are really comparing 'apples and oranges.' The Walters PPK is considered a 'pocket pistol;' the Desert Eagle is a behemoth sporting pistol available in some of the most powerful cartridges made for auto loaders. Even the smallest Desert Eagle is chamber for the powerful .357 Magnum revolver round (currently considered by many as the best man-stopper yet). As you already know, the PPK is not available in anything larger than the .380 acp, considered by many as an extremely marginal defensive round.

The Walther PPK fires a .380
The .380 round is known for over penetration of the target. The reason bullets work so well is because they expand inside the body and cause the target to absorb the energy of a bullet traveling at high speeds, the .380 usually fires completley through the human body and takes all its energy with it. Yes it will do damage, but there are much more effect pistol rounds than the .380 auto.
Desert Eagle is a manufacturer that makes all types of firearms.
Firearms don't determine power, they determine reliability...the bullett itself and the amount of powder determines the "power"

Desert Eagel, easy because I've got a Walter PPK and a Desert Eagle and I use the eagle more then I'd ever use the ppk
