This is basically the same weapon as the Calico submachine gun, differing principally in having a longer barrel. This lenght of barrel in a 9mm weapon is unusual and should result in reasonable accuracy to upwards of 200 meters, though the bullet is not really designed for that sort of range. This rifle variant fires only in the single-shot mode and uses a Roller-locked delayed blowback system similar to that of the German G3 rifle.
