The Hawk & Little Pistol .50 is a handgun appearing Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Influence[]
The weapon retains the form of the Desert Eagle, but with a multitude of changes made to the design: besides the removal of the famous "Beaver Tail", the slide-mounted safety has been removed, the frame mounted slide release is missing, the cocking serrations on the gun are chunkier, an under barrel rail has been added, the barrel lock has been omitted, a sliding safety has been added in place of the slide release and the trigger guard has been redesigned. In addition, the muzzle has been shifted downwards towards the middle of the barrel, and is noticeably larger in diameter. It has tritium-illuminated iron sights (like the Pistol and Combat Pistol) that are based on other modern pistols such as the FN Five-seven.
Performance[]
The Pistol .50 has very high damage per shot of pistols, at the cost a slightly reduced, semi-automatic rate of fire coupled with notable recoil. Capacity is lower than that of the Pistol but it can be freely improved to be on par with it. The Pistol .50 lacks the damage falloff of the Pistol and Combat Pistol, increasing its usefulness at medium range. The main weakness of the Pistol .50 is its accuracy, which makes it ineffective for drive-by shooting and of reduced efficiency at a long distance while on foot. However, this handgun remains effective against NPCs in close quarters, making it a viable pistol for use in hectic battles.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, the properties of the Pistol .50 make it a good weapon for quickly finishing the first waves of a Survival, as a single shot to the chest is able to kill enemies at lower survival waves. Also, with the introduction of vehicles with bullet-resistant glass, the Pistol .50 can be a good alternative against these vehicles, requiring ten rounds to shatter bullet-resistant glass in contrast with the usual 16 rounds for most firearms (although it is outclassed by most revolvers, sniper rifles and any MK II weapon with FMJ rounds).
True to its name and the markings, it is chambered in .50 Caliber, which is a very large and powerful cartridge that gives the pistol such power.

Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The flashlight is attached too close to the trigger guard, having the on/off switch clipping through it.
- For some reason, the gun may switch to having all accessories equipped and the Platinum Pearl Deluxe Finish applied. This appears to happen randomly upon logging into the game, and also applies to the SNS Pistol Mk II.
Trivia[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- The Pistol .50 is notable for having a very high recoil; when fired, it will blow the player's hands upwards heavily.
- This is not present in the enhanced version while in FPS mode, however, as it kicks backward rather than upward when firing in first person. This was likely done to make it more accurate when in first person.
- The Pistol .50's beta model[ref?ref?This fact is likely to be disputed and needs a source for confirmation.] resembles its real life counterpart much more than the final product. It was possibly changed to avoid copyright issues.
