It's time, /k/omrade, fix this piece of scrap metal.
> inb4 "b8"
b8
Make it a Mk.2.
Move the mag to the bottom, replace stock with an underfolder, add a proper pistol grip. Maybe slap a few "WaA" stampings on it.
This is my design. Tell me if I should patent it.
You hold it up against your sternum and use a comfy pillow to stop the recoil from causing too much damage. You hold it with 2 hands. It is only automatic.

Send it to Taurus
>>31404019
how original
Sten Mk V is so very sexy
>>31403878
The only real problem with the sten is its awful double column, single feed magazines. The drawback to seeking some form of compatibility with enemy arms means that you make the same mistakes that they did.
Dugan already figured this one out, @ 3 min.

No thanks, who is this fucking retard?
>>31406237
>who is this fucking retard?
GIT OUT OF MUH /K/!
>>31406265
Sorry I havent heard of him, but maybe if he could hold a gun properly I would have.
>>31403878
Posted this a lot, but guys seem to like it. Built one. Well, its an MP 3008 clone, but thats literally just a vertically fed STEN.

Just replace it with a Grease Gun or a PPS-43
>>31407010
Who the fuck is this goofy nigger?
>>31407039
Are you baiting now?
>>31403878
Make it a bullpup with a mag that loads from the bottom.
>>31407043
Niet, am serious.
He looks as autistic as most of /k/, but with the worst facial hair imaginable.
>>31407046
>Is on /k/
>Never seen Forgotten Weapons
Why are you even here?
>>31407055
because he's probably a euro airsofter who likes to pretend to know about scary guns to his friends
>>31407055
I tend to do my own research on "forgotten weapons" rather than wasting my time watching some sperg.
>>31407061
Oh you definitely b8-ing now.
But just in case you are retarded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9qHv_XEAZg

>I tend to do my own research on "forgotten weapons" rather than wasting my time watching some sperg.

>>31407071
>I'm so retarded, I don't know what a manual of arms is.
>>31407075
>I know German, Finish, Swedish, Russian, Czech languages so I can read all the manuals

Ooh, new b8 pic
Danke
>>31407085
>Imblying manuals of weapons produced in the hundreds maybe even dozens are readily available and people bother to translate them form lesser known languages like Czech.
>>31407093
Alright I admit b8ing you for new reaction pic material
>>31407101
Here have all of them, into 1.

Thanks, I guess

Ian is still a good-looking nigger.
Fucking painful to look at.
Same with nutnfancy

I get that it is easier to make a fake persona and have people attack that, but it is way too obvious.
>>31403878
It's fucking designed to be a piece of scrap metal, cheap and functional. It does its job. Nothing to fix you gigantic retard

You are a fucking imbecile
>tfw no 7.62 sten
>>31407411
Impossible, the bolt would have to weigh more than the rest of the gun.
Or you would have to modify it so much that it wouldnt be a sten anymore.
>>31404182
>>31407463
The photo posted is of a lever-delayed blowback rifle.
>>31407463
Would a 5.56 sten. work?
>>31407612
Based off of the sterling. From the looks of it.
>>31403878
It doesn't need fixed as long as it's used correctly:
1. Take STEN, kill Germans
2. Eventually kill German with MP40
3. Take MP40, discard STEN
This works for both British troops and much more importantly for partisans/resistance groups, the major beneficiaries of the early unreliable STENs. The ease of disassembly and reverse-engineering also benefited resistance groups for obvious reasons. It is also more or less what it was intended for which is why they tried to copy the flawed MP40 magazine for compatibility. The magazine copying didn't quite work out but there you go. Remember it was significantly cheaper and easier to make than the MP40 also with roughly 4 times as many made (4 million STENs to 1 million MP40s, MP40 costs ~3 times as much to make).
Basically early on ease of manufacture and low cost was more important than reliablity for a country that had just lost all of its allies and weaponry in France. The later STEN variants were sufficiently reliable and still significantly cheaper than most competing designs.
>>31407061
Kill yourself. He's an amazing historian and gun collector.
>>31408184
No, actually. The sten is an open bolt blowback weapon, meaning it does not have the mechanisms needed to deal with higher cartridge pressures like rotating bolts of roller delays.
>>31404125
all of the benefits of both cartridges, none of the drawbacks
chamber it in 5.45, make it clip fed
>>31404182
bren light machine gun?
>>31403878
It works just as a 14 dollar weapon should.
Has anyone here actually built one? How much welding is needed? Will a $50 harbor freight welder do the job?
>>31403878
Make it feed from the bottom and eject from the top like that German ripoff.
Then give it a solid wood stock and make it integrally suppressed.
>>31403878
Just take an superior mp40 and send that sten shit in the trash.
>>31407190
This looks like a weapon a nigger made in his ghetto machine shop with minimal tooling.>>31407194
>>31403878
Throw it away and buy a sterling
make an lmg version, belt fed sten.
whats the difference between the STEN and a sterling?
>>31409205
is that real?
>>31410729
Yes.
Check out the ARES Shrike for a beltfed AR15 in 5.56 too.
anyone ever built one of these? seems alot easier than building an AK.
>>31411283
yes
if you're any good at welding it's ezpz
>>31403878
>add real trigger and pistol grip
>add 2nd receiver on top
>add 2nd magazine on bottom
>add real "selector switch"
