What about the STEN? It wasn't pretty but it was cheap (maybe too cheap) to produce, easy to shoot, convienet caliber and not prone to jamming. I have fired a STEN (and a Sterling), lots of fun and super easy to strip and clean. You have to watch for that big bolt spring, if you're not careful you end launching the darned thing across the room! I haven't fired one in adverse conditions, aka in battle but I would like tohear from anyone who has used any of the above mentioned SMGs in a combat senario.

If the "chips were down" which would you choose and why?

Which SMG in your minds had the greatest impact of subsequet SMG design?


Greg

as always excuse the typos
I've fired the sterling smg on numerous occasions and agree about the spring!

As for the Sten, it is said that easiest way to spot the German copy was that they were better made!
