Royal Small Arms Factory Sten Mk II Description

One of the most produced firearms of World War II was the British Sten Mk II machine carbine. While the Americans called the Thompson and M3 grease gun submachine guns, the British settled on the term machine carbine, so we will use it here. More than 4 million Sten guns were made during World War II, with the most common version being the Mk II. Invented by Harold Turpin and Major Reginald Shepherd, you combine their initials with the first two letters of Enfield (Royal Small Arms Factory Enfield), and you get S-T-E-N. The Sten was a simple blowback-operated submachine gun that fired from an open bolt, and it was fed by a 32-round detachable box magazine from the left side.
