The '''Sten''' (technically an acronym for Reginald '''S'''hephard, Harold '''T'''urpin and '''En'''field but usually written as if it were a proper noun in the same manner as [[Bren gun|Bren]]) is a British designed submachine gun manufactured in a number of variants (know as ''Mark''s or simply ''Mk''s) during the Second World War. The official designation was "Carbine, Machine, Sten" which is due to the British term for what we would now call submachine guns being "Machine Carbine" at the start of the war (submachine gun was at the time regarded as an American term, as it had originated with the [[Thompson Submachine Gun]]). It was notable for its very simple design and consequently low production costs which made it an ideal weapon for supplying resistance groups: the relatively uncomplicated construction meant it could also be manufactured in occupied territories without specialised machine tools. In total approximately 4.5 million Stens were produced, over 2 million of which were the Mark II, which is the iconic Sten gun.
The suppressed version of the Mk II, the Mk II (S), hugely impressed SS officer Otto Skorzeny, who went to great lengths to acquire one. By his own account, the weapon was so quiet that he demonstrated it by leading a group of officers through an empty park at night, and having one of his men approach from behind and unload an entire magazine into the air, with the officers not believing a weapon had been fired until they were shown the shell casings on the ground. His substantial efforts to get the Nazi high command to start mass-producing the Sten proved fruitless, however.
Using the same magazines as the [[MP 38]], the Sten is subject to similar errors; the common habit in fiction of using the magazine as a sidegrip would in real life result in damage to the feed lips of the magazine (the correct part of the gun to grip is either the barrel shroud, the magwell, or the sloped section below the gun ahead of the trigger guard), and the videogame habit of fully loading the magazine would result in spring failures; like the [[MP 40]], soldiers experienced in using the Sten would typically load magazines with 30 or 28 rounds rather than 32. The 50 round [[Lanchester Mk. I]] magazine is compatible with the Sten.

==Sten Mk II(S)==

[[Image:StenMKIISilenced.jpg|thumb|right|351px|Sten Mk II(S) (Canadian) - 9x19mm]]


* [[Chris Pine]] as Darwin Tremor in ''[[Smokin' Aces]]''
The Sten Mk II(S) was a covert ops variant with an extremely effective integral suppressor developed at the request of the British Special Operations Executive by Major Hugh Reeves, who would go on to design the [[Welrod Pistol]]. The suppressor used a ported barrel and the recoil spring was shortened and the bolt lightened to ensure reliable function. The S stands for "special purpose" rather than "silenced" as one might expect. It was developed after the failure of attempts early in the war to produce a suppressed [[Thompson Submachine Gun]], and was issued to Commando units and other special forces groups. It was first used by frontline SOE units in in Europe in 1943, and also saw use in the Far East.


* ''[[633 Squadron]]''
While the suppressor became extremely hot with prolonged firing (hence the cloth grip) and would be effectively ruined by running a single magazine through it in full-auto, it was highly effective if fire was restricted to short bursts. As mentioned at the top of the page, SS officer Otto Skorzeny went to great lengths to acquire one, and is known to have stated  "What splendid possibilities the use of these silencers offered. What losses they might save and what dangers they might avert! How wonderful, in case of an unexpected meeting with an enemy detachment, to be able to fire without the reports attracting the attention of other enemy groups!" In German use, captured Mk II(S) Stens received the designation "MP751(e)."


* ''[[Escape to Athena]]''
While it was officially declared obsolete by the British Army in 1945, the Mk II(S) and Mk VI(S) continued to be used, turning up during counter-insurgency operations in Malaya and Kenya during the 60s. The Mk II(S) was also used by both the Australian SAS and American MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War, and was not actually removed from British Special Forces inventories until suppressed variants of the [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] were adopted in the 1980s.


* ''[[A Bridge Too Far]]''

The '''MP 3008''', also known as the "Volksmaschinenpistole" (people's machine pistol), was a German submachine gun developed towards the end of WWII. It was essentially a copy of the Sten Mk II, but with a vertical magazine. Due to the poor state of German manufacturing towards the end of the war, and the fact that the MP 3008 was manufactured in various smaller factories and machine shops, there was a lot of variation in terms of the materials and design of the weapon's furniture - it could be found with a skeleton wire stock, a strut stock, a strut stock with a wooden pistol grip, and finally a fully wooden stock.

* ''[[Medal of Honor: Rising Sun]]'' (fitted with silencer)
The '''Viper Machine Carbine''' was an experimental bullpup version of the Sten that was intended to be used as a one-handed personal defense weapon. The Mk I version of the Viper was designed in 1942 and intended for motorcycle messengers. Built from Sten Mk. III parts and encased in a hollow wooden clamshell, the Mk I would be held by the user underneath the shoulder. As such it possessed no iron sights, or a fire selector for that matter. Only two examples of the Mk I was built. A Mk II version was designed in 1943 but not built; the 1945 Mk III featured a radically different design, being redesigned from the ground up and having more conventional features such as iron sights and a stock. It was intended for military police in Occupied Germany, but only three were built before ultimately being rejected.

Latest revision as of 11:39, 30 December 2023

The Sten (technically an acronym for Reginald Shephard, Harold Turpin and Enfield but usually written as if it were a proper noun in the same manner as Bren) is a British designed submachine gun manufactured in a number of variants (know as Marks or simply Mks) during the Second World War. The official designation was "Carbine, Machine, Sten" which is due to the British term for what we would now call submachine guns being "Machine Carbine" at the start of the war (submachine gun was at the time regarded as an American term, as it had originated with the Thompson Submachine Gun). It was notable for its very simple design and consequently low production costs which made it an ideal weapon for supplying resistance groups: the relatively uncomplicated construction meant it could also be manufactured in occupied territories without specialised machine tools. In total approximately 4.5 million Stens were produced, over 2 million of which were the Mark II, which is the iconic Sten gun.

The suppressed version of the Mk II, the Mk II (S), hugely impressed SS officer Otto Skorzeny, who went to great lengths to acquire one. By his own account, the weapon was so quiet that he demonstrated it by leading a group of officers through an empty park at night, and having one of his men approach from behind and unload an entire magazine into the air, with the officers not believing a weapon had been fired until they were shown the shell casings on the ground. His substantial efforts to get the Nazi high command to start mass-producing the Sten proved fruitless, however.

Using the same magazines as the MP 38, the Sten is subject to similar errors; the common habit in fiction of using the magazine as a sidegrip would in real life result in damage to the feed lips of the magazine (the correct part of the gun to grip is either the barrel shroud, the magwell, or the sloped section below the gun ahead of the trigger guard), and the videogame habit of fully loading the magazine would result in spring failures; like the MP 40, soldiers experienced in using the Sten would typically load magazines with 30 or 28 rounds rather than 32. The 50 round Lanchester Mk. I magazine is compatible with the Sten.

Sten Mk II(S) (Canadian) - 9x19mm

The Sten Mk II(S) was a covert ops variant with an extremely effective integral suppressor developed at the request of the British Special Operations Executive by Major Hugh Reeves, who would go on to design the Welrod Pistol. The suppressor used a ported barrel and the recoil spring was shortened and the bolt lightened to ensure reliable function. The S stands for "special purpose" rather than "silenced" as one might expect. It was developed after the failure of attempts early in the war to produce a suppressed Thompson Submachine Gun, and was issued to Commando units and other special forces groups. It was first used by frontline SOE units in in Europe in 1943, and also saw use in the Far East.

While the suppressor became extremely hot with prolonged firing (hence the cloth grip) and would be effectively ruined by running a single magazine through it in full-auto, it was highly effective if fire was restricted to short bursts. As mentioned at the top of the page, SS officer Otto Skorzeny went to great lengths to acquire one, and is known to have stated "What splendid possibilities the use of these silencers offered. What losses they might save and what dangers they might avert! How wonderful, in case of an unexpected meeting with an enemy detachment, to be able to fire without the reports attracting the attention of other enemy groups!" In German use, captured Mk II(S) Stens received the designation "MP751(e)."

While it was officially declared obsolete by the British Army in 1945, the Mk II(S) and Mk VI(S) continued to be used, turning up during counter-insurgency operations in Malaya and Kenya during the 60s. The Mk II(S) was also used by both the Australian SAS and American MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War, and was not actually removed from British Special Forces inventories until suppressed variants of the Heckler & Koch MP5 were adopted in the 1980s.

MP 3008 with wooden stock and left side charging handle - 9x19mm

The MP 3008, also known as the "Volksmaschinenpistole" (people's machine pistol), was a German submachine gun developed towards the end of WWII. It was essentially a copy of the Sten Mk II, but with a vertical magazine. Due to the poor state of German manufacturing towards the end of the war, and the fact that the MP 3008 was manufactured in various smaller factories and machine shops, there was a lot of variation in terms of the materials and design of the weapon's furniture - it could be found with a skeleton wire stock, a strut stock, a strut stock with a wooden pistol grip, and finally a fully wooden stock.

Viper Mk I - 9x19mm

The Viper Machine Carbine was an experimental bullpup version of the Sten that was intended to be used as a one-handed personal defense weapon. The Mk I version of the Viper was designed in 1942 and intended for motorcycle messengers. Built from Sten Mk. III parts and encased in a hollow wooden clamshell, the Mk I would be held by the user underneath the shoulder. As such it possessed no iron sights, or a fire selector for that matter. Only two examples of the Mk I was built. A Mk II version was designed in 1943 but not built; the 1945 Mk III featured a radically different design, being redesigned from the ground up and having more conventional features such as iron sights and a stock. It was intended for military police in Occupied Germany, but only three were built before ultimately being rejected.
