The Calico M960 9 mm is a semi-automatic gun (fully automatic versions are available to authorized law enforcement and military, or civilians with proper BATF forms), manufactured by Calico Light Weapons Systems. Its unique feature is its high-capacity, cylindrical, helical-feed magazine. This method allows magazine capacities of 50 and 100 rounds in a relatively small space.
