Well, the Desert Eagle is designed as, and is a very good target range gun. It uses an ingenious and well-built gas-pressure operating system, something much more common in rifles. Additionally, the magazine is large and heavy, and is not seated in the well and held, but is held only at the top and 'floats' inside the grip of the pistol.
The design makes it a superb range gun, able to fire cartridges far larger than ordinary blowback-operated handguns. Most of the cartridges it uses are of such power that they had only previously been chambered in heavy revolvers and single-shot weapons like the T/C Contender and Encore.
The downside to the design is that it makes a very poor combat arm. The gas system requires maintainence much greater than a standard blowback pistol, and the floating magazine is fairly easy to jam if the weapon is not held squarely and firmly in the shooter's hand. Also, it is a very heavy pistol at 4.2 pounds unloaded, and the extremely powerful cartridges offer very little more stopping power than a conventional .45 or 10mm round. The cartridges are large and heavy, limiting the number that can be carried, and the magazine count is low, between 7 and 9 rounds, depending on the cartridge it fires. For the same weight, a small submachine gun or PDW could easily be carried, which is both far more effective, and carries more ammunition.
There's really nothing wrong with the Desert Eagle, and it is one of the most unique pistols around, but in terms of combat utility, a conventional blowback-operated pistol offers far more practicality and reliability. My personal lean goes toward the old Model 1911-A1 in .45ACP. It's a powerful round, in a standard-sized package, with ammunition readily available. Additionally, it is one of the most rugged and reliable firearms ever produced, on par with the AK-47 in terms of abuse it can take and remain in firing order.

Nah, an AK you can rattle off with for quite a while, it's the basis for several light machine guns, namely the RPK, which is a standard Squad-level automatic weapon for many nations.
In stock configuration, you're right though. There's nowhere near enough ammunition for that kind of firing. It is normally fed from a 30-round curved box magazine, although there is nothing preventing the user from slapping the 40-round or 90-round magazines from the RPK machine gun onto it. It fires at 600 rounds per minute, so the math is fairly easy, in that it shoots ten rounds per second, max. The largest magazine, if you held the trigger down constantly at full-cyclic fire rate, would last just nine seconds.

It actually CAN happen, usually if you have either an improperly-loaded cartridge that has too much powder in it, or the weapon has something plugging the barrel. Usually if you overheat a gun badly, it will either fire on full-auto until the clip is empty and refuse to reload until it's cooled down, or the chamber will just expand a bit and it will jam when it tries to load the next cartridge. It's really bad on the barrel to heat it that much, though, it damages the rifling.
