If you are wondering what program I use for the creation of this video, please check the description. It should be included on every video in this series, if not let me know.

I always scratched my head about the inner workings of pp-19 bizon's weird magazine. While I don't have any pictures or videos on that, this video gives me a good idea of how the magazine works, which is all I need. Thanks.

"With big magazine capacity comes heavy responsabilities" -Uncle Ben, probably

I would like to see all, "how it works videos", done this way. I've been interested in Military/Naval/weapons topics for over six decades, and never heard of the helical magazines before. Oddly, I Googled the subject, after reading a manual for a First Person Shooter PC game. Live and learn. My compliments to MouseGunner for an excellent video, and for having very good verbal skills.👍👍

Thank you for setting me straight on this fun idea I've been interested in for years. More recently, I've wondered about an epoxy injection rail gun system to spray shrapnel with capacities of 1000 rounds per compressed constituent ingredient to the projectile.

Now i can fight a corrupt priest for my holy grail

The gun ws a great concept and could be great. It suffering from fequent jams

The reason it never caught on was primarily the AWB. They're back in business actually selling the whole firearms again now (after slowly rebuilding operations for several years just offering spare parts and MAC conversion kits). In the time between getting forced out of business by that sedition, and their comeback, Russia, China, and North Korea all adopted Calico-inspired (and admittedly/expectedly refined) helical mag designs for their armed forces.

My assumption has always been that they pop open the top like a tennis ball container and just dump in a bunch of rounds😂

So, to my eyes, there doesn't actually seem to be a problem with the magazine. The problem seems to be how far the magazine has to turn in order for the bolt to catch the next round out of the magazine. I think reliability issues would be solved if the bolt was delayed a bit during the forward motion to give the magazine time to react. Also, lube on the inside of the magazine to reduce friction would probably help.

Q: How does a Calico helical feed work? A: not very well

The round enters the barrel at such an angle, no wonder this thing jams.

Very impressive interactive 3D images!

I'll choose P90 at anytime of the day

I found this super interesting because I own both the M100 pistol, And the 9mm Carbine. My pistol mag is busted from being over wound, but after watching this I think I can fix it! Great Video!

This is a very good display and I greatly appreciate it. The only thing u can criticize is that the rounds are actually double stacked in the magazine

P90 : *Im the most fastest sub machine gun in the world* Calico : *Are you sure about that?*

Why the fuck does it look like a weapon from Splatoon, minus the ink-tank-part holy shit!

Is this intended to be hip fired? Or is there a stock that extends off? 100 rounds without a stock and thats gonna destroy your shoulder

This is from the game "World of Guns: Gun Disassembly"

I first saw this gun in a videogames: Resident Evil Code Veronica. One of the more strangely designed gun for me.

This video should be titled how calico helical fed mags dont work.

Is this gun chambered in .22LR or am i seeing things?

Looks like it jams a lot

There is a use for them. The N. Korean army is equipped with AK-74 rifles with helical magazines that hold 250 7.62 rounds under the barrel. This means that their rifles weigh about 20 lb and are front heavy by about 6 lb. When they run out of ammunition it will take about 10 min. to reload unless they carry two or three mags in their packs which adds 26 - 39 lbs. Plus - they jam a lot. In other words, this is a great magazine for OUR forces if the N. Koreans use them. :D

I’ve got a M950 pistol and a carbine I love them fun to shoot if you keep the mag tensioned they don’t jam as much as people think.

Isn't the pp-16 (bizon) a "better" modern version of this design

What advantage could this possibly confer? That corn cob takes up a lot of space that could otherwise be used for-wait for it-more bullets. An old fashioned drum mag, although bulky, really packs in a lot of bullets in little space.

The angle and feed resemble that of a Ruger 10/22. Which makes sense, since the Ruger 10/22 is pretty much the Gold Standard for reliable .22 LR rifles.

Actually the appearance of the weapon in Sci-Fi films is not all that impractical. The .22lr has long been considered a good round for use in future spacecraft. If you have a high rate of fire, it is deadly, but less likely to blow a hole in your own spacecraft. The low recoil would be good in a zero gravity environment, and if fired in a vacuum, the bullet would retain full velocity and energy pretty much forever or until it ran into something. I understand it was a reliable weapon, but like the author says, a bear to load. Not practical at all for military or police.

Titling this 'how they work' wrongfully implies that they do actually work.

Time Alter DOUBLE ACCEL

Can we get one like this in .50 cal?

great design

This is a good gun!

if you use 9mm maybe you can get rid of the spring , by adding some gear

What was the intended purpose? Just compactness?

How do you reload the mag but if you can’t it would be good for fighting resistance fighters

Great graphics

what app are you useing

If it did work perfectly I feel like it would need a counter weight

I get the part about the magazines not " being "disposable"; but only the military can waste like that. But then...how long would it take to load ANY 100-round mag...without a "speed loader" (which they make). Face it: this is "a Sci-Fi toy" that DOES work just fine. EVERYONE also fails to mention how COMPACT this weapon is...

Very interesting. Would be incredible if it didn't eject rounds but fed them back into the auger so when you're done there's 100 empty rounds in it.

I like this gun.

it has the same fuction as pp19 bizon's mag

Probably would work better without using 22lr. We don't use rimmed cartridges anymore in semi automatics because they feed and eject horrible

Are you using the Gun Disassembly 2 game for your vids?

Imagine having to load this mag

Why do you show an Echo & the Bunnymen record when you play the song by Kevin MacLeod?

Mags are double stacked inside with rounds, not single stacked...that's the only difference with the real one that I noticed.

Looks like a Ruger 10-22 mag. Only longer.

Hi, if you take requests, can you make a post on how bottom ejection shotguns work? (Remington 17/Ithaca m37, or eve semi auto Remington 105CTi). Thanks

What software you use?

MouseGunner, 100 rounds of .22 LR weighs about 12 ounces. That's as much as 28 rounds of 9x19 or 28 rounds of 5.56x45 or fourteen rounds of .45 ACP. That's as much as the weight of the ammo in one AR15 magazine or one mag for a Glock 21 or less than the weight of ammo in two Glock 17's. It isn't the weight of the ammunition that is the problem with the Calico's helical magazine.

which software are you using, please

Wait, isn't there a 9mm version?

Nice gun.

If u buy this gun for anything but range you might as well buy a few... Mags? Cylinders?

Now i know how the bizon works

So basically if you want to go shoot you just need to buy like five or six of these and have them all loaded

Looks like the rebel DH-17 blaster from Star Wars

Pertty presentation. But if you're in a shoot out do you really want something that can get you killed?

make a video on,how "mini gun" work

What about belt-fed firearms?

How long did it take to make your animated drawing.

You forgot to show the part where you need to clear the jammed rounds

This looks surprisingly similar to the north Korean weapons. They are also using a helical magazine.

Which movie is it??

What software is this?

how would you load that

Thank you for saying "cartridge" and not "bullet".

I just got an add for num noms lol

The calico is a neat concept, poorly executed. The American-180 is where it’s at if you want a handheld .22lr bullet hose. Amazing rifle. Look them up

got to hold one of these monstrosities at the gun shop the other week. its ugly as fuck. but it was kinda cool to see one in person.

Works like a 10-22 magazine on steroids!

So it's basically the futuristic version of the .22lr 180

pain in da ass to reload magazine manually

looks for a movie

Wish I could use one just to protect my home

Just use the pp90m1

KillZone gave the Helgast the Helix magazine

One dent in the outside tube and that gun will fail to feed.

PP Bizon big brother.

When I saw the title I said "simple... they don't."

Why would we do a presentation on a massive pos?

This just screams Belgium ...

Интересно, какой калибр у этой хрени? Уж больно патроны похожи на 22LR...

Didn't catch on because they were banned a couple years after they were introduced to the public...its picky without the right ammo....the black tips are best... And 5 or 10 mags , your good for days.....

i was expecting it to jam...

Calico guns suck,unless you want a crappy bolt action gun which is supposed to be semi or fully,I don't care what you say,they suck.

mini Gatling it needs improvement

You mean how they don't?

Doesn't North Korea use these magazines?

This is a pretty cool nerf gun

Where you come from, how many rounds does a single police officer need?

looks like '22 rounds

thought you was gonna let the dam thing fire, all you done was chat ( not that it was a bad thing...but still) and only let one bullet fly. . . . . >.> good vlog tho. put up a vlog to where the gun is firing, at regular speed , and slow motion ... want to see how everything works,. tk u

So is this how my gun works?

Lol this videos should be named, how their helical magazine doesn’t work

North Korea uses those on their AKs
