Summary
Edit
The Falcon is an eighteen round magazine semi-automatic pistol. When the magazine is thrown down, the remaining rounds in it discharge in varying directions. It goes without saying that anyone hit by these rounds will receive damage, and it also acts as a good distraction device. Compact and deadly, the Falcon 18 is a fairly standard sidearm. Likely due to its small size, it was favored by undercover agents or those who had to conceal weaponry.
AdvantagesEdit
The Falcon can fire incredibly quickly as the trigger is easily depressed. It has unparalleled accuracy for a pistol. In practice, a player could become incredibly effective when combining the use of two of these pistols, due to its high accuracy, while still retaining the benefit of high mobility that comes with using a light weapon. Its large magazine also eliminates much need to reload during a firefight. Its fire cracker feature could be used as a 'bullet grenade'.
DisadvantagesEdit
The Falcon is a fairly weak weapon. When using the firecracker mode the user may injure him/herself as well.
UsageEdit
Joanna Dark used this weapon extensively. It was the Carrington Institute's premier sidearm for both its combat and undercover agents. Strangely, the members of the Hong Kong Triad gang also used this weapon.
It is assumed this weapon was phased out by 2021, in favor of the Falcon 2.
The Falcon is the starting weapon in all DarkOps games.
