| weaponinfo = The STEN (, or Sten gun) was , is the name given to a family of blowback-operated British submachine guns chambered in 9×19mm and Parabellum. They were used extensively by both British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War. STEN The word "Sten" is an acronym, and was created from the names of the weapon's chief designers, : the "S" comes from Major Reginald V. '''S'''hepherd and Shepherd, the "T" from Harold '''T'''urpinJ. Turpin, and EN the "En" stands for '''En'''field. Over four million Stens in various versions were made in the 1940sEnfield factory. They were notable for having All models of Sten gun 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 later 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 family of assault rifles.<ref name = "sten wiki">[[wikipedia:Sten|Wikipedia entry on the Sten gun]]</ref>

The Mark II Sten was created during a time of desperation. The British military had suffered great materiel losses during the most common variantevacuation at Dunkirk, with two million units produced. It was and needed a much rougher weapon than the Mk Isubmachine gun that could be quickly manufactured to help resupply their armed forces. The flash eliminator and At the folding handle (time, the grip) British had been purchasing large quantities of Thompson submachine guns from the Mk I United States. However, Thompsons were eliminatedtime-consuming and expensive to produce, being anywhere from $70-200 per unit. A removable barrel As a result, the Thompson, while it was now provided which projected 3 inches (76 mm) beyond the barrel sleeve. Alsoan effective weapon, a special catch allowed the magazine to simply could not be slid partly out of the magazine housing and the housing rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise (from the operator's perspective)produced fast enough. And so, together covering the ejection opening and allowing the weapon and magazine both Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield was commissioned to lie flat on its sidedesign an alternative submachine gun.<ref name= "wikisten modernfirearms">[https://modernfirearms.net/en/submachine-guns/great-britain-submachine-guns/sten-eng/ Modern Firearms entry on the STEN]</ref>

| characterinfo ==== 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 ===A short TDepartment at Enfield. The design they came up with shared many design elements, such as the side-doll around 130mounted magazine, with the Lanchester (an earlier submachine gun design that was essentially a British copy of the German MP28). Unlike the Lanchester, 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-140cm operated submachine gun firing from an open bolt, with a fixed firing pin on the face of body height the bolt. This means the bolt remains to the rear when compared to the weaponis cocked, and upon 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 {{doll name|MP40|SMG|2}}, Soviet {{doll name|PPS-43|SMG|3}}, and US {{doll name|M3|SMG|2}} submachine guns were all made with a similar design philosophy to that of the Sten have golden colour pupils : simple to make, easy to maintain, and medium length blonde hair tightened in twin poniescheap to produce.<ref name = "sten forgotten weapons">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-PmLxkOmaM Forgotten Weapons video on British submachine guns]</ref>

As The Sten gun was known to suffer from a number of design faults. Stoppages were not uncommon, and could occur for a variety of reasons, with some as a result of poor maintenance and others being particular to the artist revealed Sten. Carbon buildup on his/her weibo poststhe face of the breech or debris in the bolt raceway could cause a failure to fire, originally while a dirty chamber could cause a failure to feed. Firing the Sten by grasping the magazine with the supporting hand tended to wear the magazine catch, altering the angle of feed and causing a failure to feed. Additional problems stemmed from the Sten's costume [https://weibomagazines, which were direct copies of the ones used in the German MP-40.com/1936540534/D0XZdkuPS?A Sten magazine had two columns of 9mm cartridges in a staggered arrangement, merging at the top to form a single column.

The slot on the side of the body where the charging handle ran was also a red beret hat thoughtarget of criticism, as the long opening could allow foreign objects to enter into the internals of the gun. When thought about The open bolt design of the Sten, combined with its cheap manufacture and rudimentary safety, also meant that the weapon was meant prone to accidental discharges, which proved especially hazardous. A simple safety could be engaged while the bolt was in the rearwards (cocked) position. However, if a cheap alternative due loaded Sten with the bolt in the closed position was dropped, or the butt was knocked against the ground, the bolt could move far enough rearward to pick up a round (but not far enough to be engaged by the trigger mechanism) and the spring pressure could be enough to lack of funding, chamber and fire the second draft Sten became [https://weibo.com/1936540534/D0Y0Gk8aF?type=comment#_rnd1524382513114 Cinderella]round.

Finally 真名 settled The STEN would see various improvements following its adoption in 1941. The first model of Sten gun produced, the Mk.I, featured a conical flash hider, a wooden grip on the stock, and a wooden front grip that could be folded up under the barrel. Only about 100,000 Mk.I Stens were produced before the far simpler Mk.II design was implemented. The Mk.II was the most common version of the Sten gun used by British forces, with around 2 million units produced. The foregrip and flash hider from the earlier Mk.I were removed, and a feminized simplified stock design was introduced. The simplification of the Sten gun design would culminate in the Mk.III, which would end up being the 2nd most produced variant, as well as the version in use by the time of the traditional English working class outfit Normandy landings. The Sten, especially the Mk.II, tended to attract affection and loathing in equal measure. Its peculiar appearance when compared to other firearms of that the era, suspension belt skirtcombined with sometimes questionable reliability, red jacketmade it unpopular with some front-line troops. However, beret a well-maintained (and properly functioning) Sten gun was a white shirtdevastating close-range weapon for sections previously armed only with bolt-action rifles. In addition to regular British and Commonwealth military service, Sten guns were air-dropped in large numbers to resistance fighters and partisans throughout occupied Europe. Due to their slim profile and ease of disassembly/reassembly, they were good for concealment and guerrilla warfare.

Other Commonwealth nations followed suit, either by creating their own replacements for the Sten, such as the Australians with their F1 submachine gun, or by adopting foreign designs. The Sten does continue to fit occasionally show up in with everyonethe hands of insurgents, militias, and irregular military forces.

Weeks prior to the scheduled raid, the first issuing of the Sten gun to the Dieppe Raiders occurred, and the Canadian soldiers quickly found out about the Sten's numerous quirks and faults. So, during the weeks leading up to the raid, the Canadians spent a great deal of time fixing, filing, and adjusting their weapons' to fix faults. By the end of this period, the Canadians had managed to transform their Stens into fully battle-worthy guns.<ref name = "sten canadian soldiers">[https://www.canadiansoldiers.com/weapons/smgs/sten.htm CanadianSoldiers.com entry on the STEN in Canadian service]</ref> However, when the raid was cancelled in July, the Canadians' modified STENs were withdrawn. When the raid was later un-cancelled and rescheduled, the Canadian forces received brand-new Sten guns, crated and packed in grease. These new guns were very much useless to the troops, as they still had the very common manufacturing defects which the Canadians had corrected weeks prior with their previously issued guns. This situation obviously disgusted many of the troops. The Dieppe raid 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.<ref name = "sten dieppe wiki">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieppe_Raid Wikipedia entry on the Dieppe Raid]<references/ref>*As a reference to a joke told by Allied troops regarding the Sten's tendency to accidentally discharge when dropped, one of the official 4Coma comics of Girls' Frontline drawn by AC-130 depicts {{doll name|Lee-Enfield|RF|5}} throwing Sten's weapon like a grenade at a group of enemy patrols to drive them away.*The Sten Mk. II was one of the weapons used by Jozef Gabčík, the leader of the Czechoslovakian SOE team tasked with assassinating SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich. Unfortunately, in line with the STEN's famous unreliability issues, the firearm jammed at the crucial moment. Seeing this, another member of the group, 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. The resulting explosion severely injured Heydrich, and several months later those injuries caused him to enter a coma he never awoke from. Both Gabčík and Kubiš later 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.**Sten's in-game skill, a hand grenade, is allegedly a tribute to Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš' actions during the war.*Captured Sten Mk.
