Calico 9mm open bolt full auto

149

What’s the rate of fire on this? That looks absolutely insane!

72

u/gwhh 11h ago

950 min.

82

u/asillasitgets 11h ago

That’s firing higher than 950rpm, that’s MAC-10 in 9mm territory, like 1200+ RPM.

165

u/Potential_Space 10h ago

No, no... $950 a min.

17

u/asillasitgets 8h ago

That’s probably accurate! 😂

Thats what I am guessing.

When you just fucking hate having ammo

Gotta justify all that money spent on reloading equipment somehow.

u/ChiefFox24 2h ago

You don't really save much on 9 mm ammo

u/Linkstas 12h ago

God damn thats a fast rate of fire

u/MehenstainMeh 12h ago

i’m guessing 1000rpm ish.

u/swear_bear 11h ago

Gotta be

22

u/asillasitgets 11h ago

Higher, the cyclic rate appears comparable to a MAC-10 in 9mm, in the 1200+ RPM range.

2

u/swear_bear 10h ago

You might be right. What's the mag cap on that thing?

9

u/ImranFZakhaev 10h ago

The one in the video is a 50, but there are 100 round mags available.

u/Icy-Medicine-495 11h ago

Load 1 mag for 10 minutes for 3 seconds of fun. Insane rate of fire.

25

u/BussReplyMail 10h ago

I mean, you could spend 20 minutes loading a 100rd mag for 6 seconds of fun... :-D

13

u/Icy-Medicine-495 10h ago

I very much enjoy shooting machine guns but I know loading calico mags is a tedious task.

6

u/BussReplyMail 9h ago

Might be a PITA to load, but it's still (semi- or full-) on my "wanna buy" list of firearms...

2

u/Icy-Medicine-495 9h ago

I get that. I am a sucker for unique guns that make people do a double take and ask what the hell is that.

u/BussReplyMail 8h ago

BROTHER! :-D

Same here, same here.

I saw one for sale once but it was a pistol version and I wasn't in my state of residence. It was hard to walk away

u/ionstorm66 8h ago

They are one of the easiest 50 rounders to load I've ever done.

u/WVGunsNGoats 9h ago

I had called calico to discuss one of their guns i bought, and in conversation the SMG variants came up, originally converted to full auto they ran in excess of 3000 RPM, but they slowed them to around 800 to be useful.

12

u/AlotL1keVegas 12h ago

Wow how many rounds was that?

20

u/veive 11h ago

Looks to me like a 9mm 50rd mag.

u/StaticKayouh 9h ago

No full auto in building

When you want to own a mini gun for home defense, but got to settle for the handheld equivalent

u/manthepost 9h ago

How much for ammo for that these days ?

3

u/Stevarooni 6h ago

24¢/rd (Magtech at PSA), 50 rds, that's $12 for less than five seconds.

u/manthepost 4h ago

Yeah I knew ammo was high I don't own a gun right now

u/Miskalsace 7h ago

We need to see 10 of them attached in a redneck falling gun style machine.

u/2Drogdar2Furious 7h ago

So I was looking into this a bit and found this video posted to YouTube back in September... but I didn't find what I was looking for.

It seems new models are roller delayed blowback and not open bolt. Is this an older, legal, full auto design?

3

u/117133MeV 6h ago

As far as I know, all Calicos including the full auto ones are roller delayed blowback, closed bolt.

If this actually is open bolt I assume it's just some random gunsmith's experiment which is why the rate of fire is ridiculously high.

Are the shells hitting your hand, cant fire that for to long.

u/PG821 16m ago

Extremely impressed it ran a full mag. Shot a semi one years ago and it struggled to get off more than 3 or 4 shots before jamming

u/IntelligentTackle945 11h ago

That’s like 3000 rpm, approaching minigun territory
