The Sten Gun
Название: The Sten Gun Издательство: Osprey Publishing Серия: Osprey Weapon 22 ISBN: 1849087598 Год: 2012 Формат: PDF (e-book) Страниц: 82 Размер: 7 Mb Язык: English The Sten submachine gun – officially the ‘Carbine, Machine, Sten’ – was developed to fulfill the pressing British need for large quantities of cheaply produced weapons after Dunkirk, when German invasion was a very real possibility. Over four million were built during World War II, and the Sten was widely used by airborne troops, tankers, and others who needed a compact weapon with substantial firepower. It proved especially popular with Resistance fighters as it was easy to conceal, deadly at close range, and could fire captured German ammunition – with a design so simple that Resistance fighters were able to produce them in bicycle shops.
