He was the son of Etienne Falconet. It is the equivalent of European falcon and falconet. Also, the placement of the laughing falcon ("Herpetotheres") and the spot-winged falconet ("Spiziapteryx") varies. He used a wide variety of guns, including the culverin, demiculverin, falconet and Saker. Caracarinae is separate (similar to NACC), but also contains the spot-winged falconet ("Spiziapteryx"). The generally insectivorous collared falconet has been recorded as hunting Nepal house martins. Major sculptors, including Pigalle and Falconet, made series for the Sevres manufactory. A fifth species, the white-fronted falconet "M. latifrons", was described by Sharpe in 1879. The galiot was quickly overcome, the 22 Spanish aboard killed, and their falconet captured. In a skirmish, Giovanni de' Medici is wounded in the leg by a falconet shot. The empress followed his advice and Falconet arrived in Russia in 1766. The falconet resembled an oversized matchlock musket with two wheels attached to improve mobility. She had accompanied Falconet as an apprentice on his trip to Russia in 1766.
