Hey /k/.

So I've been considering buying a British sten gun, cause I love the look of it, but I prioritise functionality over looks so I'd just like to know how well an open bolt like this would work in harsh weather or underwater, nad if anyone has any experience with one of these would they be able to give some personal insite on performance and jam rate and such?

thats a lancaster, not a sten

Transferrable (legal full auto) Stens are generally less than 10k

google is your friend

> but I prioritise functionality over looks
if you want a good looking open bolt subgun get an UZI
the fullsize ones are great
the Mini is even better, but expensive AF
a Zastava M56, or a zagi M91

I would go with a Steyr Mp34, if you want something WW1/2-ish looking

>>31938237
America has the best gun laws and we can't buy open bolt firearms

If that makes us a 3rd world country, what the fuck does that make you? A fucking caveman tribe?

yeah, one's that are grandfathered in from before the ATF determined that every open bolt gun is easily convertible to a machinegun

Still able to buy

I think that an Uzi would be a better choice for you. The Sten is not renowned for it's reliability, it's just Ok at best. This is in part due to it's magazine, which is a pretty bad design of a double column single feed. Also something to consider is holding a Sten, you should really try picking one up before you go out and buy one, I know there are a fair amount of people out there who dislike Stens because of how odd they are to hold.

You can also tell the ATF to eat shit and make a full-auto open bolt SMG in your garage.

>>31940390
That's not a Sten, that's a Lanchester, made near the end/after WWII, when they could afford to put some R&D into the Sten and make it out of something better than scrap iron.

A beautiful, reliable weapon, one of the first SMGs to be fitted with a (functional) 50 round drum mag. supposedly pretty rare though, sad to say
