Alright so i love guns, so lemme bring some math into here.Try hard
The desert eagle can be chambered into 2 Caliber we've already heard. .44 magnum, and .50 AE (Action Express).
The .50 AE Round is designed to provide stopping power over penetrating power. they're different. stopping power hurts... in this case ALOT, penetrating power is how well something goes through something else (this is tested with FBI grade ballistics gel) think of it as an arrow, the reason an arrow was so dangerous in medieval times isn't because it would go through you, its because it would get stuck in you, and pulling it out would rip the insides of the body more.
It's used to kill targets such as Bears, or in self defense although its a bit overkill.
So more info on the round. The .50 AE is normally 300 grains, with an average energy of 1449 Foot pounds in a jacketed hollow point. It can defeat up to IIIA Body Armour.
For comparison, the round a honeybadger probably fires is a .300 blk, aka a 7.62×35mm. It a 125 grain round, that is slow enough to be quiet, its so slow its subsonic, meaning it doesn't break the sound barrier, which is why its quiet. with an average of 488 Foot pounds, however it goes through armour cause it has alot of penetration power due to its muzzle velocity, which is why it takes more shots to kill... it goes through you and doesn't exactly hurt you as much. if anything this should be a petition to decrease the cost of the honeybadger. In game it takes 4 stk (shots to kill) to the chest, and 2 to the head with a honey (5 with a spec ops vest, and 3 with a helmet). with the falcon its 2 to the body and 1 to the head (exact same stk with any combination of Armour)
TL:DR, i don't think it should be increased. the round it fires is accurate to the gun meaning a helmet is a piece of cardboard to it, and your brains are like pasta. the fact that its 90 bamboo is about right, it used to be 150 if i'm not mistaken. Its fires slow, has alot of recoil, and 7 rounds. if someone wants to be good with it, they have to be lucky or a damn good shot to compete with a grizzly, honeybadger, zube, mata or any other gun.

Exert: this is a Desert falcon (desert Eagle, .50AE) compared to a colt cailber (M1911, in 9mm) in real life, and several other cailbers
