	Sten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sten (or Sten gun) was a family of British, 9 mm submachine guns used heavily by the British Empire and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War.
		Sten guns were produced in several basic marks, although the fourth was never issued and nearly half of the total produced were of the Mark II.
		Stens were airlifted by the crateload to resistance fighters and partisans throughout occupied Europe.

	Submachine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A submachine gun is a firearm that combines the automatic fire of a machine gun with the ammunition of a pistol, and is usually between the two in weight and size.
		Prominent recent examples of the submachine gun are the Israeli Military Industries Uzi submachine gun, the Heckler and Koch MP5 series, the Ingram MAC-10, the Skorpion, the Sterling and the FN P90 (itself part of a new generation of 'personal defence weapons', firing cartridges intermediate in power between a pistol and assault rifle round).
		Certain submachine guns have also been available in specially-modified semi-automatic form, with non-removable 16 inch (406 mm) barrels and receivers modified so as to prevent conversion into a fully-automatic firearm; in this case, the submachine guns are treated as rifles, and are not subject to further regulations beyond those required for ownership of a rifle.

	Sten (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Sten gun was visually distinctive for its very bare appearance (just a pipe with a metal loop for a stock) and that the magazine stuck out horizontally, rather than downwards, which is the default for submachine guns.
		Stens were produced in a wide number of variants, with the Mark II (pictured) being the most prolific, at 2 million units.
		Stens were so cheap, that even today despite the generally high cost of WWII era collectibles, a Sten gun, converted to semi-auto, can be had usually for less than $100.

		The submachine gun appeared during WWI from the need to have a weapon that could be used to clear trenches.
		During WW2 Germany was the first country to issue submachine guns in large numbers with the MP40, other nations quickly followed, but it would be Russia that would produce the largest number of submachine gun types.
		However those not fitted with silencers mostly use special submachine gun ammunition that has the same dimensions as regular pistol ammunition, but that is not suited for pistol use because of the higher pressure levels and bullet velocities.

		Even though it is not an original STEN, the receiver tube is the part of the gun that is registered with BATF as an NFA weapon; I paid a $200 transfer tax on that tube and I don't want to damage it in anyway.
		Actually the STEN is normally pretty accurate (within its limitations) and I have shot 2-3" groups at 25 semi-auto with the original sights.
		One of the guys that is active in those shoots makes a Sten mount that screws into the dust cover; I am not sure of the correct terminology, but the part that has the mag well on it that can be turned to cover the bolt.

		While the Bren Gun was arguably the best light machine gun of World War II (The argument being if you consider the MG34 and MG42 light machine guns), it was never officially used by the LRDG in Desert Campaign.
		That gun was the Sten Gun which was technically called a "machine carbine" by the British.
		The Sten fired the 9mm parabellum round and as such the British decided to look into a pistol that fired the same bullet to replace their revolvers, at least within their elite airborne and commando units.
