This video delves into the unique Calico Light Weapons System, focusing on its innovative roller-delayed blowback action and its distinctive helical magazines in 50 and 100-round capacities. The description highlights the firearm's development in the late 1980s, its availability in .22 rimfire and 9mm Parabellum calibers, and the subsequent impact of the 1994 Omnibus Crime Act on its sales. It contrasts the simple blowback mechanism of the .22 variants with the H&K-inspired roller-delayed system used in the 9mm models. The video also touches upon the company's struggles with reliability and market reception, leading to its near demise until the ban expired in 2004.
