Weapon Background

The STEN was a family of blowback-operated British submachine guns chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum. They were used extensively by both British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War. They had a simple design and a very low production cost, making them effective insurgency weapons for resistance groups, and they continue to see usage to this day by irregular military forces. The Sten gun served as the basis for the superior Sterling submachine gun, which replaced the Sten in British service until the 1980s, when it and all other submachine guns were replaced by the SA80 assault rifle.

The Sten was created during a time of desperation. The British military had suffered great materiel losses during the evacuation at Dunkirk, and needed a submachine gun that could be quickly manufactured to help resupply the armed forces. At the time, the British had been purchasing large quantities of Thompson submachine guns from the United States. However, Thompsons were time-consuming and expensive to produce, being anywhere from $70-200 per unit. As a result, the guns could not be produced fast enough, and so the Royal Small Arms Factory Enfield was commissioned to design an alternative.

The design of the Sten gun is credited to Major Reginald V. Shepherd and Mr. Harold John Turpin. Major Shepherd was the inspector of Armaments in the Ministry of Supply Design Department at The Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, while Turpin was the Senior Draughtsman of the Design Department at Enfield. The design they came up with shared many design elements, such as its side-mounted magazine, with an earlier submachine gun design, the Lanchester (a British copy of the German MP28). Unlike the Lancaster, however, the Sten was designed to be as cheap and easy to produce as possible. To this end, the Sten was built primarily of simple stamped metal components and required only minor welding, which meant minimal machining and manufacturing was needed to build one. In terms of mechanical operation, the Sten was also incredibly simple. The Sten was a blowback-operated submachine gun firing from an open bolt, with a fixed firing pin on the face of the bolt. This means the bolt remains to the rear when the weapon is cocked, and on pulling the trigger the bolt moves forward from spring pressure, stripping the round from the magazine, chambering it, and firing the weapon all in the same movement. There is no breech locking mechanism, so the rearward movement of the bolt caused by the recoil impulse is arrested only by the mainspring and the bolt's inertia. The German MP40, Russian PPSh-41, and US M3 submachine guns were all made with a similar design philosophy to that of the Sten: simple to make, easy to maintain, and cheap to produce.

The Sten gun first saw action in the Dieppe raid with Canadian Forces. Weeks prior to the raid, the first issuing of the Sten gun to the Dieppe Raiders occurred, and during the weeks leading up to the raid the Canadians spent the time fixing, filing, and adjusting their weapons' to fix faults making them somewhat decent weapons and were fully battle-worthy. However, when the raid was first cancelled in July, the Canadians' STENs were withdrawn and when the Raid was remounted, the Canadian forces recieved new STEN guns, crated and packed in grease, which were very much useless as they had their very common manufacturing defects which the Canadians had corrected weeks prior to their previously issued STEN guns. This obviously disgusted many of the troops. The Dieppe raid in the end was a catastrophic failure, seeing 3.6 thousand of the 6000 predominantly Canadian soldiers being killed, wounded, or captured due to extremely poor British leadership.

The STEN would see improvements and many different variants, however it still was never the perfect weapon due to the entire point of the STEN being as cheap as possible, as easy as possible to make as fast as possible in as large numbers as possible. This would of course greatly benefit the Commonwealth armies, especially following the Normandy landings as each infantry section was able to equip itself with STENs if the situation required it. The standard British infantry section in western Europe composed of 10 men (2 more than the standard 8 used in other conflicts and peacetime), 2 men to work the BREN and the rest with lee-enfields or STEN guns. (Luckier ones got to wield American firearms such as the Thompson). The STEN would continue to see service with the British Army until the 60's to which it was replaced by the far better Sterling SMG.

The 9mm STEN Machine Carbine (as it was officially known) is a blowback operated, fully automatic weapon that fired from an open bolt. Trigger unit permitted for sigle shots and full automatic fire, controlled by the cross-bolt type button, located in front and above trigger. The tubular receiver and the barrel shroud were made from rolled steel. The gun was fed from a left side mounted box magazine. The wireframe stock is made from steel. The sights were fixed and pre-adjusted for 100 yards distance, with a peep hole rear and blade front. The Mk.1 featured a conical muzzle compensator. Some guns featured small folding forward grip.

• The Brtish pattern STENs would be produced in several variants (marks):
  • Sten Mk.I: First model STEN, featured the conical flash hider, a wooden foregrip and foward handle, about 100,000 of the Mk.1's and later improved blocks were produced.
  • Sten Mk.II: The most common STEN at 2 million units produced, the foregrip and flash hider were removed from this variant.
  • Sten Mk.IIS: A suppressed version of the Mk.II STEN, typically given to SOE agents operating in occupied territories or commando units beginning 1943.
  • Sten Mk.III: The 2nd most produced variant, and possibly the most simple version of the STEN issued by the time of the Normandy landings.
  • Sten Mk.V: This variant was first produced for Airborne troops, essentially being a more refined and superior Mk.II STEN, featuring a wooden foregrip, a wooden stock and bayonet mount and came with a specialised bandolier for airborne troops which held 7 full STEN magazines.
  • Sten Mk.VI: Was a suppressed Mk.V STEN, used in the same roles as the STEN Mk.IIS was.

Character Design

A short T-doll around 130-140cm of body height when compared to the weapon, Sten have golden colour pupils and medium length blonde hair tightened in twin ponies.

As the artist revealed on his/her weibo posts, originally Sten's costume concept design was similar to Little Red Riding Hood, as adviced by ^SMG Beretta Model 38Beretta Model 38 's artist ALLENES suggested "Give her a little red hat", by a red hat ALLENES meant a red beret hat though.

When thought about the weapon was meant to be a cheap alternative due to lack of funding, the second draft Sten was given a plain grey dress, similar to Cinderella's.

Finally 真名 settled with a feminized version of the traditional English working class outfit of that era, suspension belt skirt, red jacket, beret and a white shirt.

Trivia

• Due to the poor build quality, there are frequent reports of Sten misfiring when dropped on the group.
  • As a reference to a joke told by Allied troops, one of the official 4Coma of Girls Frontline drawn by AC-130 depict that ^RF Lee-EnfieldLee-Enfield  threw Sten's weapon like a grenade at a group of enemy patrols to drive them away.
  • Sten gained its notoriety which causes accidental discharging if the operator dropped the gun and became dangerous when loaded. It should be noted where Canadian Soldier during the war was injured or the worse, killed even before entering the battlefield although the report of operator death because of accidental discharging on Sten is questionable.
  • The magazine of Sten itself was rather fragile; the magazine lip could easily bent which prevent proper feeding on the ammo. Seasoned operator would fill the magazine with 28-30 rounds instead of maximum 32 round for its reliability.
  • Sten is ill-suited for operation during winter, as the component itself is very sensitive due the effect of manufacturing cost which could lead to freezing and malfunction.
• The Sten Mk. II also used by Jozef Gabčík, the leader of Czechoslovakian SOE team to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich. Unfortunately - in line with the STEN's famous unreliability issues - the firearm jammed. Seeing this, Jan Kubiš proceeded to toss a modified Anti-Tank grenade into Heydrich's Car after Heydrich ordered the driver to stop so he could shoot Gabčík, which severely injured him and months later caused him to enter a coma never to awaken from and then was pronounced dead on June 4th, 1942. Both Gabčík and Kubiš died after a 6 hour long gunfight against the SS at a cathedral in Prague along with the rest of the paratrooper team that was inserted by the SOE.
  • Her skill, a hand grenade is a tribute for Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš' actions during the war.
• 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 Fallschirmjäger(German Paratrooper) and Volksturm(People's Storm of German) because of its reliability and cheaper maintenance cost than its counterparts, MP 40.
  • Another exact copy of Sten Mk.II by Mauser, called Gerät Potsdam was planned to be manufactured for 100.000 units although in reality there's only 28.000 units were manufactured.
• Sten will transformed as Sten Mk.II(S) after Digi-Mind Upgrade where the silencer is attached. The abbreviation of 'S' itself stands for "Special purpose" instead of "Silenced". German captured several Sten Mk.II(S) and designated it as MP751(e).
  • Mainly used by British SOE in Western Front at 1943, it still used in every conflict of the world until the adoption of MP5S in 1980.
  • Also, it was used by US MACV SOG and Australian SASR during the Vietnam War.
  • Her digimind upgrade features her using a STEN Mk.IIS, a suppressed version of the STEN Mk.II
