"looks really cool"

"Calico in 22 or 9NATO is a great little playtoy. Not too sure I'd want to trust my life to the helical magazine. As noted it is *OK*, but not known for reliability "enough".

AWB of 1994 caused Calico to eventually fold as there was not enough market in the Restricted markets (LE, MIL, GOV) to continue manufacture.
AWB expired in 2004, "unbanning" regular capacity magazine manufacture and sales to taxpayers. Certain cosmetic features were also were allowed back on firearm manufacture and refit.

"Pre- ('94)ban" guns and magazines are no longer restricted despite markings on them. (Some arms and parts will state "For LE/MIL use only, and dated)

Here is a URL to information on the "Miller Decision" and what ended up being the National Firearms Act of 1934 in uS.

Full Auto in not specifically banned at Federal level. Is taxed and paperwork regulated heavily.

Some individual States DO prohibit full auto and other NFA toys. Other States allow *some* ownership.
Some such as my home, Oregon, allow the full gamut of DD, SBS, SBR, MG, Suppressors, AOW with paperwork taken care of and approved by ATFE.
