Sten


Next is the Sten sub-machinegun. The Sten originated in the United Kingdom and began production in 1940. Over 3.7-4.6 million were built. The Sten uses a 32 round "stick" clip , just like the MP40. The Sten was used by many countries, including the United States. It is very distinct from other guns because the clip is to the side of the gun.
