STEN ステン ステンガン ステン短機関銃
The [b]STEN[/b] (or [b]Sten gun[/b]) was a family of blowback operated, open bolt 9×19mm [b][[submachine gun]]s[/b], used by [b][[united kingdom|British]][/b] and Commonwealth forces throughout [[World War II]] since 1941 and the [[Korean War]]. They were notable for having a simple design and very low production cost, making them effective insurgency [[weapon]]s for resistance groups. Sten's overall appearance resembles a metal tube with a side-mounted [[magazine (weapon)|magazine]] insertion on the left side.

The acronym [b]STEN[/b] originated from the names of the [[weapon]]'s chief designers - Major Reginald V. [b]S[/b]hepherd, Harold [b]T[/b]urpin and [b]En[/b]field. Sten guns were produced in several basic marks, one of the most common one is the [b]Mk II[/b].
