Most people start paintball on a rental marker. It works, but it's been dropped a hundred times, it's not tuned for you, and you hand it back at the end of the day.
The Falcon is the next step. It's a marker you actually own for $179.95 — aluminum body, semi-auto, runs on CO2 or HPA, and simple enough that nothing about it gets in your way on the field.
No board to program. No menu to learn. Air it up, chrono it, play.
What the Falcon Actually Is
Semi-automatic, .68 caliber, corrosion-resistant aluminum receiver with a polymer grip, shooting up to 285 FPS.
The part newer players tend to overlook: it runs on both CO2 and HPA. That flexibility matters more than people expect, because plenty of woodsball and rec fields still only fill CO2. You're not stuck driving to a specific field to get air.
It's powder-coated, so it holds up to being thrown in a gear bag every weekend instead of babied.
The Features You'll Actually Notice
Spec sheets are long. These are the four things you'll feel on your first day.
- External velocity adjustment — chrono reads hot, you turn it down right there at staging. No tools, nothing to disassemble.
- Full-length MIL-SPEC Picatinny rail — red dot, flashlight, foregrip, whatever your loadout calls for. Standard rail means standard accessories.
- Adjustable front and rear sights — usable out of the box, removable when you'd rather run optics.
- Removable ported barrel with a replaceable thread adapter. The porting cuts muzzle rise and noise, and the adapter means you're not locked into one barrel forever.
Then the small stuff that adds up over a long day: removable clamping feedneck, integrated foregrip, rear sling attachment point, and a trigger safety push button.

What Comes in the Box
The Falcon ships with a barrel cover and a maintenance tool kit, so you're not making a second order just to be field-legal and able to tighten a screw.
It's backed by a 90-day limited warranty, and there's a full instruction manual if you want to read through it before your first game.
.68 Cal or .50 Cal?
Same marker, same price, two calibers. This trips people up, so here's the short version.
- .68 cal — the standard. Every field stocks the paint, every rental runs it. If you're playing normal rec, woodsball, or scenario games, this is the one.
- .50 cal — smaller ball, less sting, same gameplay. Popular for younger players, birthday groups, and fields that run low-impact days. Check that your local field actually stocks .50 cal paint before you commit.
What Else You Need to Play
The Falcon is the marker. Three things still have to come with it before you can get on a field.
- Air. A 13ci tank keeps the setup light and compact. A 48ci gets you a lot more shots between fills — most players end up here.
- A loader. Gravity feed works fine for slower rec play, but an electronic loader keeps you fed when a point gets busy.
- A mask. Non-negotiable, and don't cheap out. Dual-pane thermal lenses are the difference between seeing the field and fogging out on the walk to your bunker.
Who the Falcon Is For
Renting every weekend and tired of it?
→ The Falcon plus a 48ci tank, a loader, and a mask puts you on the field with your own setup for the price of a few rental days.
Playing woodsball or scenario?
→ The rail and sling point are the whole point here. Build it out how you want.
Buying for a younger player or a family group?
→ Look at .50 cal first, and call your local field to confirm they stock the paint.
Already playing tournament speedball?
→ This isn't your gun, and that's fine. The Falcon isn't chasing a ramping electro — it's built to be reliable and simple.
Final Thoughts
The Falcon isn't trying to be a tournament marker. It's trying to be the one you grab every weekend, throw in a bag, accessorize how you want, and never really think about.
For most players getting off rentals, that's exactly the right gun.
See you on the field.
