Hiya...

Just wanted a quick bit of opined input...

I'm working a Calico M950 for a Pilot's PDW rig and wanted somebody's input on the matter...

It's a hefty piece in terms of size and weight (that'll be the 50 round helical mag, huh?) and is chambered for 9 mil para... but since I know sweet FA about firearms (and am working from my well-thumbed '96 copy of Jane's GUNS recognition guide), I thought I'd ask: 6L, 6M (since it's technically a pistol) or something higher, since it's pretty much a shortened SA version of the M-960 with almost no other difference?

Also, if anyone has any practical experience of this (or a similar) firearm, exactly how big and cumbersome (and inconvenient) is the 100 round mag?

Thanks in anticipation,

DB
