Not only is 5.56 generally a bad round for... everything, but a flimsy little weapon like that won't handle it well.

Thats a nice thought good bye you are ignored.

You don't know much about ballistics. The 5.56x45 breaks up when it hits flesh, causing massive bleeding wounds. The only problem is it lacks velocity past 200 meters to break up.

The Calico submachine guns are somewhat mysterious and quite notorious in both design, concept and appearance. The key properties of Calico firearms were extremely large magazine capacity combined with slim profile and ambidextrous handling. First designs, introduced by the US based company Calico Light Weapon Systems (LWS) circa 1990, were intended for both Law Enforcement and Military markets (in either semi-auto or selective fired form, in 9mm) and for civilian market (semi-auto only, in pistol or carbine form, in 9mm and .22LR versions). Sales of these guns were not so bright, and the US Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, which limited magazine capacity for civilian guns to 10 rounds, further impacted the future of this weapon. Apparently, military and police sales during late 1990s were insufficient, and it seems that the Calico LWS company went out of business.

Original design of the helical, large capacity magazine was invented by the Michael Miller and Warren Stockton by the 1985, and refined by the 1988. Calico company produced 2 basic designs, one in .22LR (models 100, 105 and 110), and another in 9mm Luger (models 900, 950, 960, Liberty). 9mm models could be easily distinguished by the ejection chute, located just ahead of the triggerguard, and opened to the bottom. .22LR models, on the other hand, have trigger guards with slim front edge, and ejection ports on the side of receivers.

Technical description.
The 9mm Calico submachine guns were delayed blowback operated, selective fire weapons. The action is based on the two part, roller delayed blowback bolt system, initially designed by Ludwig Vorgrimler at the Mauser Werke by the end of WW2, and latter refined and promoted by the Heckler & Koch company in its G3 series rifles and MP5 series submachine guns. One interesting feature of Calico submachine guns is that the spent cases are ejected straight down, through the ejection chute at the front of the trigger guard. This, along with the ambidextrous safety / selector switch, located at the front of the trigger guard, make the gun ambidextrous, but bottom ejection caused danger to the shooter in the case of improper two-hands grip - if the supporting hand will come too close to the trigger guard, ejected cases can cause burns and damage to the holding palm. The charging handle is located at the left side of the gun, just ahead and above the trigger, and does not move when gun is fired. It also must be pointed out, that the .22LR versions of the Calico guns had the ejection port at the right side of the receiver, above the pistol grip.

The most interesting feature of the Calico firearms is the top-mounted, cylindrical magazine of impressive capacity. Made mostly of plastics, this magazine contains a helical guide grooves at its "inner" cylindrical wall, with the rotating central "follower", that causes the cartridges to follow the helical track inside the cylinder. The follower is operated by the spiral spring, located at the rear of the cylinder. Magazine is equipped with winding handle, so it can be stored loaded and with unwound spring, to avoid loss of spring tension during the storage time. When required, magazine spring could be quickly wound up by rotating the handle to prepare magazine for fire. Magazines for Calico guns can store 50 or 100 rounds in relatively compact packages.

Another interesting feature of all 9mm and some .22LR Calico guns is that while the adjustable front sight is mounted on the trapezoid block on the weapon itself, the rear sight is formed as the part of the plastic magazine shell. Calico firearms in submachine or carbine form could be fitted with retractable butt and / or forward pistol grip. Calico "pistols" had no butts, but still had short forearms and were fitted with shorter barrels. .22LR semiautomatic versions also can be found in either pistol or carbine versions (latter with longer barrels, detachable or under-folding butts and ribbed forends of round cross-section). Many .22LR guns also were fitted with conical "blaster-like" flash hiders at the muzzle, which also carried the front sight base (rear sight was at the front of the magazine holding block).

There is your info. Have a nice day guido they are on their way to deliver them.

BTW a new gun is being added soon.

:?: Why do we need anymore weapons than we already have? This senseless selling of arms will oly lead to the deathes of many people. Do you have no compassion for other's lives?

*sigh* ummmm sir you should know that when a new nation is created it needs weapons and if you have a problem with the sale of firearms Im sorry but the gun will probly never become exstinct.

[quote="Eriopia"]*sigh* ummmm sir you should know that when a new nation is created it needs weapons and if you have a problem with the sale of firearms Im sorry but the gun will probly never become exstinct.And how do you exspect to counter an invasion without weaponry.BTW bump.

Wow, how revolutionary, a "troop portable submachine gun". You realize all SMGs are man portable, right? And what's so revolutionary about selling Calicos? Hell, I've had Calicos and Calico-pattern weapons since before you were in existence. Oh, and the 5.56 NATO armor piercing round could go through a Hummer engine block, so your round is just a rip off too. You know that AP rounds don't do anything to soliders, right? Read the book Black Hawk down if you can't be bothered by reading the fact sheets. 5.56 AP rounds have virtually no stopping power. They make very small holes in humans, and have very little effect on flesh in general.

OMG Not again FINE OKAY FORGET THE THREAD ITS GONE NOW.THIS IS A CLOSED THREAD

The 5.56 ball only causes massive damage if it is fired from a large enough barrel. A short barrel like on your Calico ripoff, or the M4 will not give it enough velocity to do its hydro-shock thing. Even when fired from a long barrel like in the M16A2, it can't hold momentum due to its weight and is still only effective under good conditions at under 200 yards. AP 5.56 will barely do any damage to a person at all, soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are complaining about how it takes 10 rounds to drop a determined enemy. A round such as 7.62x39 may be less effective at close range but it holds its momentum for a further range, and AP rounds fired from an AK-47 do more damage to an unarmored person than 5.56 AP fired from an M16.
