The Calico M960 is a law-enforcement only submachine-gun. Its most unique feature is its cylindrical, helical-feed magazine, which moves rounds in a spiral pattern along its length. This method allowed magazine capacities of 50 and 100 rounds in a relatively small space. The weapon sold few copies as civilians disliked the futuristic aesthetics and could not readily find magazines (the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban that regulated regular-capacity firearm magazines--The Ban expired in September of 2004). Military and Police agencies showed little interest in the weapon and considered more of a novelty.
It has been used in several movies including: I Come In Peace, Tango & Cash and Tomorrow Never Dies. Tango & Cash is a 1989 American movie starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. ... Tomorrow Never Dies is the eighteenth James Bond film made by EON Productions, and the second to star Pierce Brosnan as Ian Flemings secret agent, James Bond. ...
Calico also had several other models in 9mm, all based around the helical-feed magazine that was their trademark. Civilian models were available in both .22 LR and 9mm chamberings.
