The Calico M950 is a semi-automatic pistol developed in the 1980s by Calico Light Weapons Systems in Nevada / USA. It uses the 9 × 19 mm caliber common for this type of weapon in a special worm magazine developed by Michael Miller and Warren Stockton in 1985 . This magazine holds 50 to 100 cartridges, in which the cartridges are arranged in a helix in order to achieve the maximum amount of ammunition.
The M950 was a flop for its manufacturer , as the pistol fell under the US Assault Weapons Ban in 1994 , which restricted the magazine capacity for civilians to 10 cartridges per magazine.
