Calico M105S Rifle - .22 LR The politically correct post ban model of the M100 Rifle with wooden thumbhole stock and forearm.
  • The Calico M100 is a .22 LR rifle that usually comes with a 100 round .22 LR helical tubular magazine and has a collapsible stock. It first came out in the 1980s and was probably one of the most unusual and futuristic looking firearms of it's time.


Film

Television

  • Used as a standard issue UEO Pulse Rifle in seaQuest DSVs second season.

Anime

Calico M110

Calico M110 .22 LR

This is a smaller version of the M-100 .22 LR Pistol. 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.

Calico M900 with M951 style foregrip - 9x19mm
  • The Calico M951 is a select fire version of the nearly identical M900 Semi Auto Carbine, except the 951 has a special compensator (much like a mini Cutts Compensator).

Film

  • Used by Cyrez Corporation security guards in the movie Eraser, note, they also carried M955A Calicos as well.
  • Françoise Yip as Agent Cheung, Stephen Dorff as Cmdr. Richard Burke, and numerous other Bureau 713 Commandos in Alone in the Dark (2005) (M951A rifles with lasers and flashlights mounted on attacked rails on the foreend, scope mount and red dot scope and outfitted with full stocks)

Television

  • Used occasionally as a UEO Pulse Rifle in SeaQuest DSVs second season.
  • Modified the barrel and had M951 style fore grips added and was used as the standard issue UEO Pulse Rifle in SeaQuest 2032.

Video Games

  • Command & Conquer (Tiberian Dawn, 1995) Used by GDI soldiers in certain cut scenes and in the booklet wrongly portrayed as an 'assault rifle' (since the Calico only fires a pistol caliber cartridge, it is most accurately portrayed as a submachine gun or full auto carbine).

Calico M950A select fire pistol with factory foregrip - 9x19mm
  • The Calico M950 is the pistol version of the 9x19mm carbine. It is also available in a full auto version, the M950A, however, movie armorers have converted M950 semi-automatic pistols to emulate the M950A in films, thus contributing to the confusing array of variants appearing in films that fire fully automatic. 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. Neither the M950 nor the M950A have a retractable stock, nor can one be installed on that type of receiver, so if you see a retractable stock, it is not one of these models.

Film

  • The base gun used under the fabricated cowling on the 40 Watt Phased Plasma Rifle in The Terminator films.
  • On the wall of Yaz's armory (Dennis Rodman) in Double Team (No pistol grip, 100 round drum magazine, could be 950 or 950A)

Television

  • Used occasionally in seaQuest DSVs second season as a Pulse weapon.
  • Bugs (episode "Pulse")
