  Sten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sten (or Sten gun) was a family of British, 9 mm submachine guns used extensively by the British Empire and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War.
The Sten was designed at a time when Britain was engaged in the Battle of Britain and other fighting throughout the world, and facing the danger of being invaded by the Nazis.
Sten guns were produced in several basic marks, (though the MKI saw limited service, and the MKIV was never issued) and nearly half of the total produced were of the Mark II.

The Armia Krajowa [Polish Home Army, "AK"] that comprised the armed forces of the Polish Underground State [PPP] was the most numerous, long lasting, and the most diverse in its forms of combat of all the underground armies in Europe during the Second World War.
Its historic development evolved from 27th September 1939 with the inauguration of the Sluzba Zwyciestwa Polski [Service for the Victory of Poland "SZP"] (a military-political organization) and the construction upon its foundations of the Zwiazek Walki Zbrojnej [Union for the Armed Struggle "ZWZ"].
The latter was already a typically military structure with the character of a General Staff, which eventually developed into the fully organized underground army; the Armia Krajowa, "AK".

After receiving training from the British they parachuted back into the region that December and on May 27, 1942 ambushed Heydrich while he rode in his open car in the Prague suburb of Kobylisy.
Gabcík drew a concealed British-made Sten sub-machine gun but it failed to fire, so Kubiš threw a grenade near the car which wounded Heydrich.
Some speculate that if Heydrich had not stood up to fire back with his pistol, the fragments may not have wounded him as extensively.
