The STEN (or Sten gun) was a family of British submachine guns chambered in 9×19mm and used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War. They were notable for having a simple design and very low production cost making them effective insurgency weapons for resistance groups.
The Mark II was the most common variant, with two million units produced. It was a much rougher weapon than the Mk I. The flash eliminator and the folding handle (the grip) of the Mk I were eliminated. A removable barrel was now provided which projected 3 inches (76 mm) beyond the barrel sleeve. Also, a special catch allowed the magazine to be slid partly out of the magazine housing and the housing rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise (from the operator's perspective), together covering the ejection opening and allowing the weapon and magazine both to lie flat on its side.[1]

Captured Sten Mk. II was redesigned by German Designer, called MP.3008(or Gerät Neumünster) in mid WWII after Germany power began to collapse. MP.3008 shared a same receiver with Sten, but changed the magazine feeding to vertical over the original it was made. The MP.3008 itself also used by Fallschirmjager(German Paratrooper) and Volksturm(People's Storm of German) because of its reliability and cheaper maintenance cost than its counterparts, MP 40.[2]
Another exact copy of Sten Mk.II by Mauser, called Gerat Postdam was planned to be manufactured for 100.000 units although in reality there's only 28.000 units were manufactured.[3]
