This is a smaller version of the M-100. It is frequently called the M-100P, which was the older model this replaced, Calico no longer sells the M-100P. The bolt was changed to make it slightly lighter and the feed lip changed in the magazine. The parts are mostly interchangeable, the only modification for older 100P would be that you'd need to have minor modifications to the barrel to use the current magazine design.

The M950A from the factory has a pistol foregrip to aid in barrel climb during full auto fire. In some films like I Come In Peace, the gun is a converted M950 (with an accelerated rate of fire) but the foregrip was not installed since blanks don't create the muzzle climb that live rounds do.
