3D Animation: How a Sten Submachine Gun Works

Check out our Gun Apparel at: We ship worldwide. The Sten gun was a family of British submachine guns used extensively by British and Commonwealth troops throughout World War II. STEN is an acronym from the names of the weapon’s designers, Major Reginald V. Shepherd and Harold Turpin, and EN for Enfield. The British Army was forced to replace the weapons, that were lost during the evacuation from Dunkirk. The Sten gun had a simple design and very low production cost. It used simple stamped metal components and minor welding, which required minimal machining and manufacturing. Much of the production could be performed by small workshops, with the firearms assembled at the Enfield site. In addition to regular British and Commonwealth military service, Stens were air-dropped in quantity to resistance fighters and partisans throughout occupied Europe.
