Funny thing is, me and my dad bought an autommag together. It is extremely fun to shoot, it has some pretty good recoil for it's size, but it jams like every 3 rounds :(

Very interesting! There's one I'd like to share, though perhaps you're already aware of it: it was a unique side-arm issued to German officers of certain positions. When I first saw one, it was described to me as a "command post officer's pocket-gun". It was rather small and narrow, about the size of a billfold, and what looked to be about .25 caliber. What made it unusual to me was the magazine, a stack of a half-dozen or more barrels that would move up by one position when the gun was fired. It appeared small enough to be overlooked in a quick search, and seemed as if it may have been intended for use by a post commander to prevent his subordinates or himself from being taken captive. The gun I saw had been stamped with the nazi swastika and eagle. I only wish I still had the photo.

I former member of the 5th special forces the china lake grenda launcher was a very good weapon you had to carry extra ammo but it would save your butt. we carried as and extra weapon. I was in LOAS in 1960.

  How is that possible if the weapon was only produced from '68-'69?

I owned a Calico M950. It was FUN to shoot......sold it to a guy that had two others...he uses them as go-to guns in his jewelry store.

This is a good "what's your favorite" topic of conversation though...

Most of the weapons I recognize from Delta Force, a PC game.

  Haha, yeah those were some pretty great games back in the day when I was playing em on my 633mhz compaq. They also had one of the best (simplest) map generators in its day to play around with.

Call of duty... they just don't ever seem to get it.

Anyways, I have seen a few calicos for sale at gun shows, and I have seen a metaba for sale a year or two ago.

this was an interesting list

It's nothing I've ever seen, let alone fired, but the Gyrojet pistols would be an interesting addition as being rare and some classed as "Dangerous devices".

Cailber Or how ever you spell it. Liken was shot by a similar gun like this. Its most possible that it can be the most smallest gun too

The Automag design was purchased by Wildey and is still in production and very much available. The Calico family of weapons is still quite easily available, though I'm not certain if production is still occurring. Matebas are less common today, but you can still find many just on gunbroker. They're pricey, but available.

Correction. The 'China Lake Grenade Launcher'. No more than *7* are known to be in existence, because I have one.

The write up on the Calico M950 pistol is incorrect in that there is a remaining round indicator sightglass on the top of the 50 and 100 round helical feed magazines. Also, if you have the Calico fast loader, you can plop your 50 round ammo box into the loader, close the lid, and crank all 50 bullets into the magazine in a matter of seconds.
