  • Wikipedia: The STEN (or Sten gun) is a family of British submachine guns chambered in 9×19mm which were used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War. They had a simple design and very low production cost, making them effective insurgency weapons for resistance groups, and they continue to see usage to this day by irregular military forces. The Sten served as the basis for the Sterling submachine gun, which replaced the Sten in British service until the 1990s, when it, and all other submachine guns, were replaced by the SA80.
    The Sten is a select fire, blowback-operated weapon and loads its magazine on the left, rather than the bottom, as is the usual configuration. Sten is an acronym, from the names of the weapon's chief designers, Major Reginald V. Shepherd and Harold J. Turpin, and "En" for the Enfield factory.[9][b] Over four million Stens in various versions were made in the 1940s, making it the second most produced submachine gun of the Second World War, after the Soviet PPSh-41.
    Design: The Sten was a blowback-operated submachine gun firing from an open bolt with a fixed firing pin on the face of the bolt. This means the bolt remains to the rear when the weapon is cocked, and on pulling the trigger the bolt moves forward from spring pressure, stripping the round from the magazine, chambering it and firing the weapon all in the same movement. There is no breech locking mechanism, the rearward movement of the bolt caused by the recoil impulse is arrested only by the mainspring and the bolt's inertia. The German MP40, Russian PPSh-41, and US M3 submachine gun, among others, used the same operating mechanisms and design philosophy of the Sten, namely their low cost and ease of manufacture. Though the MP40 was also built largely for this purpose, Otto Skorzeny went on record saying that he preferred the Sten because it required less raw material to produce, and performed better under adverse combat conditions.[16] The effect of putting lightweight automatic weaponry into the hands of soldiers, greatly increased the short-range firepower of the infantry, especially when the main infantry weapon was a bolt-action rifle capable of only around 15 rounds per minute and not suited for short-range combat.[citation needed] However, the open-bolt firing mechanism, short barrel, and use of pistol ammunition severely restricted accuracy and stopping power, with an effective range of only around 100 m (330 ft), compared to 500 m (1,600 ft) for the Lee-Enfield rifle.

    to be honest, after I first saw it, I was wondering if it was spring/gunpowder-powered. and after I saw this video, I was right. I just wasn't too sure how the semi/full auto worked. (from how I see it now, it's so easy, a western blacksmith could make this. it's got semi auto, full auto, even safety)

      What’s even scarier is I heard a combat engineer was able to make 6 replicas of similar guns in one day. It is modern machining and all but still that’s absolutely terrifying and incredible.

    • @scapegoat1313

      A blacksmith couldn't make a machine gun. It takes machined tubing with a certain level of tolerance. Plus it requires welding or torch brazing at minimum. Also small parts such as the recess in the bolt face, extractor, extractor spring, and firing pin are tedious to make and must be finely tuned to work properly. Trust me, I know

      Isso, até a introdução da Sten MK-V. O travamento das anteriores se devia a urgência na produção, pelos motivos da urgência de produção da guerra, As Blitz (Que obrigou que muitas das produções de armas fossem transferidas para pequenas e médias oficinas no interior) e de que o departamento de defesa inglês havia assumido uma postura na época de que "submetralhadoras eram armas de bandidos e gangsteres"- graças a influencia da mídia americana da década de 20 e 30. O que deixou o exercito Inglês no inicio do conflito, virtualmente sem uma arma automática leve caseira e em ampla produção quando a guerra começou em setembro de 39. O Exercito inglês basicamente começou a guerra com apenas as lee-Enfield Smle MKIII, Metralhadoras de médio porte Bren e quase que apenas isso.
      A versão melhorada da Sten viria a surgir no final de 41 pro inicio de 42.
      O bom da Sten era sua praticidade de produção: Sempre foi ( e ainda é) muito barata e facil de se produzir, assim como fabricar variantes da mesma ( Como a Bliscawika Polonesa, usada no levante de Varsóvia em 44, e mesmo os alemães desesperados no final da guerra em 45, produzindo uma variante chamada MP3008 para algumas tropas e a Volkssturm, já que a manufatura da MP-40 já não era mais possível, dada as fabricas arrasadas.)

    How in the hell does a shell ejector work? It just slams against the bottom of a small piece of metal and goes flying?? Explain how the fuck it works?? I first thought it was a spring when the botl went forward it pushed it down then springing back up when it went to the cartridge pushing it out, now I see it's entirely doifferent and I wanna know how it works

    • @americangangster1911
      @americangangster1911  11 месяцев назад +2

      When the bolt moves back the extractor is hooked onto the rim of the empty casing and pulls the casing back into a little peice of metal called the ejector. When the casing hits the ejector it goes flying out the ejection port. That's pretty much how most ejectors work.
