The old plumber's nightmare, the Sten gun

Going back to the Sten, a few things I would like to add for information is:
The Sten MKI and II's also had a bad habbit of firing on their own without the soldier's finger on the trigger, due to the basic spring bolt used in them. I can not remember if they ever bothered to fix this in the later versions.
Another problem with the Sten was that many soldiers complained about the sights being pretty crappy (see below image)
Later on with the MKV version, they added the front sights of the Lee Enfield rifle to help improve aiming (See Below Image)
But the MKV had a few problems of it's own. The MKV was originally designed as a Paratrooper's SMG, but many Paratroopers complained about the forward handgrip being too weak and easy to break off during their jumps or landings. Some just broke them off on purpose.
It was a very cheap and very effective SMG for the British and Canadian forces of WWII, however it was far from perfect.
I always liked it though.
I'm sure Colpy would want one of these": http://tinyurl.com/44lmux
Only 22 magnum, but 1500 rounds a minute and a 275 round drum would be intimidating to anyone.

Yeah....I've seen these in pictures....they make a semi-auto version, banned in Canada of course.
Great plinker, eh?
Load on Sunday, shoot all week.

Sounds similar to the ol' MG42:
"The MG42 has one of the highest average rates of fire of any single-barreled light machine gun, between 1,200 and 1,500 rpm, resulting in a distinctive muzzle report."
Of course 50 rounds in two seconds is a bit better then 1500 in a minute.
Ever see a modified Glock made into a full-auto with extended clip?

My math says that 1500 divided by 60 is exactly 25 rounds per second.;-);-)
Might be okay if you had a back pack full of extended clips. nah.....Those guns were jumping around so much that at fifty feet most targets would have been safe.....unlike the people standing near him.;-)
Oh I agree.... pistols arn't all that acurate to begin with on average..... It just looks cool.
