The STEN WW2’s 2nd Most Popular SMG in 1 Minute #Shorts

I’m gonna get one and it’s full auto it’s gonna arrive in the next 2 weeks

Those welds are gorgeous 😂

Wait I thought it was in 45

Also made to be compatible with MP40 mags, very useful to the French Resistance who received a lot of Stens

It has some varnish on it, pretty sure

За цену 1 томпсона можно было сделать 15- 20 Стенов. Есть смысл, особенно в войну

sten is a beast my teacher was in the para and he used one of these way back in the 70s said it was like his second wife but complained so much less

I think the guns like the STEN are so interesting because it shows you how resourceful humans get when they need something to kill someone. doesnt need to be high quality and it looks like shit imo but it'll kill.

Toob

How does he own all these in Canada? Lol

Issa toob innit?

junk

I so bad still want a sten though💯🔥

Made one on my backyard with some conduit and some springs and a stick welder. Oh shit here’s the atf at my door again. But literally can make that gun for under $50 with scrap pipe and metal

I’ve always been intrigued by the amount of travel the bolt has in either of those weapons considering the length of the actual cartridge. Seems to me like the bolts travel could have been shortened a bit to speed up the rate of fire maybe ?

I want one!

A large number of stens were built in poland for the home army use and a number werw built in Israel post ww2

Angry toob

I REALLY WANT A REAL ONE SO BAD!!!😍🥰 My 2nd pick of a smg after the German MP40 during WW2.

If I could work my ass off for a portion of life savings to pay it I would.

Too bad they are Class 3 NFA firearms and are a pain in the @$$ to obtain lawfully. Not to mention difficult to find- nearly all owners are licensed dealers. Dang it, Government and Company Bureaucracy!

They spent very little time "in the UK" back then

So there really is a machine gun that looks like those bathroom stall door locks

goes to show british people suck jk but it's kinda tru lol

Those welds! Yikes!

And yet video games still have no idea what a pipe gun looks like

Definitely my favorite smg of the second world War.

Hello, we will replace an iconic and useful submachine gun with a literal stick with a mag

I’m a left handed shooter that gun is a nightmare for me

If you dropped or stood on them they would go off. One technique the British used for house clearances was to throw a loaded sten through a window and it would shoot off the whole mag.

3000$vs120$

What a ruggedly beautiful piece!

Bro turned the sten into mp3008

PpsH💀 шШ Ш!!!

When Britain stood alone against the might of reich one man in his garden shed with pipes springs and a hammer got to work

But for the price of one Thompson I could get 10 Sten guns

And if the recoil spring brakes I can probably rip the spring out from a screen Door and put that in and it will probably work fine

Steampunk style 🎩

Define "popular."

i came

So the handle is a knife? Seems legit.

German soldiers would be ashamed to get clipped with that cheap POS. The Tommy is a thing of American beauty!

The Sten would’ve been better to have the mag on the bottom. The Brits overthink crap.

Crude toy which jammed half the time.

Like its successor the Sterling, dropping it, cocked or not, could make it go off..

The Malaysian army threw away the Sterling after countless accidents.

One fired, UNCOCKED, when dropped, sending two rounds into the neck of an Indian lieutenant.

The backbone of colonial revolution. There's virtue in simple, abundant weaponry; Both to be fired and to be stolen

MP 40 is the most popular

Yeah no wonder it’s so cheap to produce. Function over aesthetic. 😂😅

Answer me one thing, doesn't this gun have a precursor pin?

Also notorious for jamming

Remove the barrel shroud and turn the magazine in vertical position.

This was produced at a time when the British Army was desperate for weapons, just about everything we had was left on the beaches of Dunkirk, it was simple to build (we were expecting an invasion at anytime) and couldbe assembled on a kitchen table by a novice in 15 minutes. Yes it was a "disposable" weapon, but in war, what weapon isn't ? The Lancaster Bomber was only expected to last for 100 flying hours before being shot down.

No, It jammed sometimes. But if you clear
