Are you suggesting the machines are.... Jews?

They can handle the recoil and piece weight since they're supremely strong so why not use the big hand cannon?

>>70772668
It's a big bulky gun that looks powerful and official. And the triangle-ish muzzle looks kind of weird and bureaucratic, like a corporate logo.

One of the few reasonable choices of a Deagle brand Deagle in film.

"men in black agents" only really carry small side arms. The need for an intimidating pistol merited the need for a large handgun.

the movie armorer said they were lame and "wanker pistols" or something but the director or somebody higher up thought :fuck it, they look cool" so they used them

99% of The Matrix is "fuck it, it's cool" so I don't blame anyone for it.

As pretty much everyone else said, it looks cool.
Imagine if he was waving a fucking PPK in his face instead.

>>70772668
no one notices except for autists so im sure they just said fuck it and used whatever

>>70772668
it's a fucking movie and they were the baddest guns to have in it you fucking retard

This. Only /k/ cares and who cares what they like or want?

Counter Strike was very popular in the late 90s.

The Deagle was very popular in Counter Strike and the Internet of the time widely considered it to be "badass". That is literally the reason.

in the matrix you can be whoever you want - machines want to wear suits and carry deagals.
