The Calico M960 9 mm is a semi-automatic carbine (fully automatic versions are available to authorized law enforcement and military, or civilians with the proper Federal Firearms License), manufactured by Calico Light Weapons Systems. Its unique feature is its high-capacity, cylindrical, helical-feed magazine and retractable stock. This method allows magazine capacities of 50 and 100 rounds in a relatively small space, making it ideal for law enforcement and special operations units
