==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Falconer'' carries a weapons mix that attempts to negate the range advantage of the weapons used by the Clans. The primary weapon on the 'Mech is a [[Poland Main Model A]] [[Gauss rifle]], which is capable of stripping a ton of armor off an enemy unit at extreme ranges. It is backed up by a [[Defiance 1001]] [[ER PPC]], having a similar range profile to the Gauss Rifle and doing about a third less damage, but not dependent upon ammunition. Finally, the ''Falconer'' carries four [[Defiance B3M]] [[medium laser]]s to give it a powerful close range punch.
