I don't know, someone might have been working on something, I don't remember.

The Calico isn't exactly perfect, but then, neither is the Spas-12, I think we were mainly looking at cool factor and quasi-futuristic stuff here.
Most people don't know how to handle the magazines right, you're supposed to wind them up after filling them, but no more than 10 winds as that can damage the magazine spring.
Really, I just think they have that delightful 80's charm to them. You think of a Calico, and the 80's come to mind.

That said, the way the rear sight actually is attached to the magazines does seem like a pretty odd design choice, but in my opinion, at the ranges you use weapons like these, it doesn't matter as much.
