Depends on the power level and whether it's an FN12 or FN19. Our FN12 gets about 25 shots at 14 ft lb and our FN 19 is a LOT of shots at 17 ft lb. They are not really meant for very high power but are SUPER sweet little rifles. The FN19 normally is filled to about 2000 psi and by mistake, I filled to 2300. It took 75 shots to get back to the peak velocity at 1900 psi and was around 40 shots before it started to drop. They can be tuned MUCH different than this but I've not tried... it shoots wonderfully as is.

Why do you ask.. I'm assuming you don't own one but found one for sale?
If I remember correctly... From factory they were a 20-25fpe rifle. (No regulator) giving about 20 shot s fill.. very accurate for it's time.

I have a Falcon FN12 single shot that needs a re-seal. If I remember correctly, it did about 15 shots from 2700 psi with 25 fps spread at ~22 fpe. It was super accurate. I preferred it over my Air Arms S410 carbine.

From the old airguns-r-us web site: https://web.archive.org/web/20000304141123/http://www.airguns-r-us.com/background.html
Naturally typing Falcon FN12 (or 8, or...) into search gives some posts here.
I personally did not think much of the last iteration the Prairie Falcon much. All earlier models were fine indeed. One of the very 1st with a moderator (not all models).
2700psi , competition -or Squirrel- ready and simple to work on tho extremely reliable -as in back when orings in airguns lasted 10 years-. Excellent airsmiths that wok on the still exist. Esp. like the bearing match trigger. True hole in hole airgun no matter the shot count. My Beeman labled Falcon (Titan) had a Koriek reg so?
Not sure what they sell for now (likely under valued really tho)
If you have the chance to get one at any reasonable price, do it!
Have a picture?

I had an FN12 in .22. I adjusted the power down and would get about 35 usable shots before power dropped off. Fantastic gun, had a custom left hand maple stock. I wish I never sold it, if anyone sees it floating around drop me a pm so I can get her back into my life.
