The Calico M950 is a semi-automatic pistol (also classified as a carbine) manufactured by Calico Light Weapons Systems in the United States. Its main feature, along with all the other guns of the Calico system, is to feed from a proprietary helical magazine mounted on top, available in 50 or 100-rounds capacity.
The Calico has enough barrel to enable attachment of a vertical foregrip, which is more suited to a submachine gun or a rifle. The factory sights enable reasonable accuracy to about 60 meters (197 feet), but 100 meters is a reasonable range.
The .22LR weapons use a separate design than the 9mm offerings, and share no parts with their larger siblings.[1]
