	Sterling submachine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sterling submachine gun is a British submachine gun which was in service with the British Army from 1953 until 1988 when it was phased out with the introduction of the L85A1 IW (Individual Weapon).
		The magazine follower, which pushes the cartridges into the feed port is equipped with rollers to reduce friction and the firing pin is arranged so that it does not line up with the percussion cap on the cartridge until the cartridge has entered the chamber.
		Sterling built them for the British armed forces and for overseas sales, whilst the Royal Ordnance Factories plant at Fazakerley (near Liverpool) constructed them exclusively for the British military.

		SMGs were noted for their high rate of fire, but their low effective range.
		The SMG (also referred to as "machine carbines" by the Canadian Army) reached the apex of its usefulness in the Second World War.
		The SMG in the Second World War was the principal weapon of infantry section commanders, but were also used by dismounted tank crews, infantry officers, scouts, and other troops whose duties demanded personal protection but would be interfered with by the cumbersome service rifle.

	Best SMG? - Page 4 - World Affairs Board
		The Sterling strikes me as very nice for prone firing compared to some of its competitors and that humble prone position strikes me as being tactically the most useful for many people and circumstances.
		I would not characterize the SMG as a short range weapon, at least in the 9 x 19 chambering, for I have found them to be usefully accurate at 200 meters.
		Uzi SMG and Sterling have similar barrel length (260mm for Uzi vs 198mm for Sterling) and similar ROF (600 rpm for Uzi vs 550mm for Sterling).

	Hirtenberger SMG Rounds Debunked - Threat Focused Forums
		Likewise, IMI produces the SMG ammunition rarely (mostly for Israeli and American military contracts) and very few samples of it are in circulation in the US, mostly in the hands of collectors.
		Note also that SMG rounds are likewise unsafe to fire in many submachineguns, and virtually all pistol-cartridge carbines, since both are usually engineered for 9mm pistol ammunition.
		I wouldn't want someone who is fraudulently advertising "Hirt SMG ammo" to now be able to get their hands on a picture of the head stamp.

		The Sterling is a very simple and robust weapon having seen service in the harshest of climates and still operating soundly.
		Through simplicity comes the danger in that the Sterling is very easy to fire accidentally, though with the right training and safe handling practices this should be avoided.
		The SMG, due to its small dimensions, is good for airborne troops who want a lighter and easier weapon to handle over a conventional rifle.

		Guerrilla fighters in Europe became adept at repairing, modifying and eventually scratch-building clones of the Sten (over 2000 Stens and about 500 of similar Błyskawica SMGs were manufactured in occupied Poland).
		The Sten was often disparaged by soldiers for its inaccuracy due to basic sights, which were often not even zeroed for an impact point.
		It was slowly withdrawn in the 1960s and replaced by the Sterling SMG in British Army service, while Canada adopted a similar weapon, the C1 SMG to replace the Sten.

		As you know, the SMG is generally obsolescent in the world's military armouries, having been largely replaced by the assault rifle.
		By comparison, the British military's, Sterling SMG is an accident simply waiting to happen once it is put together with ammunition.
		When Georg Luger invented the 9mm Para specification at about 1900, there were no SMG and the 9mm Para round had a muzzle velocity that made it about the most effective choice of its day for a semi-auto pistol intended for combat use.

		9mm machine carbine made by Sterling Armaments of Dagenham, successor to the amazingly unreliable but undeniably robust STEN gun.
		Perhaps the best commentary on its popularity can be seen in the fact that given the choice, any soldier worth his salt in the 60s,70s and 80s preferred to carry the much larger, heavier SLR if at all possible, rather than this annoying and pointless piece of junk.
		The Sterling SMG is still made by Ishapore and used by India.

		The only way to make a Sterling as quiet as a DeLisle would be to arrange for the bolt to remain locked upon firing and to cycle it manually afterwards.
		Although long bursts of full chat were discouraged, when the okes are having a cabby on the range they do 'occur,' resulting in having to remove lots of charred wood from the handguard.
		Sterlings did make a commercial closed-bolt Mk4 SMG variant sometime towards the end of their operations.

		The Blastech E-11 bears a striking resemblance to the British Sterling SMG of decades past, its size is appropriate for an SMG and its folding stock has been a staple feature of SMGs for decades.
		It is usually equipped with a scope, which is reminiscent of modern SMGs such as the Heckler and Koch MP5, which is issued to police SWAT teams, Army Special Ops, and anti-terrorist specialists around the world.
		All of those activities would be appropriate for an SMG in real life, and in many of those activities (all those involving corridor combat), the length of an assault rifle would arguably just get in their way.
