We quite literally peak behind the curtain in this week's episode to examine why making a semi-automatic firearm (like the Sten) is so much more difficult than one that's purely automatic (like the MP 40).
Join Jonathan as he takes this real-life World of Guns cross-sectional look at one of Britain's best known firearms from the Second World War.
Did we mention, this episode is brought to you by World of Guns? If you enjoyed Jonathan delving into the inner workings of the Sten, why not try it for yourself?

I worked with an ex-marine who got close to a court martial for negligent discharge on the range for firing one of these on auto rather than single shot. After a beasting his sergeant had a go and the same thing happened. What it turned out to be was the UK had obtained a load of cheap Indian ammunition that was underpowered and there wasn't enough blowback for the bolt to catch in the sear, hence the full-auto on single fire.

@chanman819 7 месяцев назад

The thing that always impresses me about the Sten isn't the simplicity of operation - it shares that with most open bolt SMGs, and is arguably more complicated with its semi-auto sear - but the simplicity of manufacture - little machining, almost no threading, and simple stampings - is really something to behold

@genericpersonx333 7 месяцев назад

Yeah. People talk about the MP40 being a cheap gun because it used stampings and all that jazz, but as Germans were looking at MP40s to last the same time as weapons like MP28s, that is ten or twenty years with hundreds of cartridges through them every, they sure as heck were not cutting corners on them. Cost less money and fewer manhours than MP28s and the like, but still far more money and manhours than the British were putting into STENs that were only required to last longer than it took a replacement to be manufactured!

@-Zevin- 7 месяцев назад

Always loved the Sten, it's not a premium firearm, but that's what I love about it. Too often I think we judge guns based on pure performance or how good it is as a gun compared to others, but don't consider the big picture; cost, manufacture and logistics. Sure a Beretta Model 38 is a much nicer gun, but the sten is brilliant in its simplicity and cost effectiveness, that is what wins wars.

@jacktheaviator4938 7 месяцев назад

The Sten may appear crude and simplistic, but it is functionally as good as any sub machine gun of it's era. If I had to pick any sub gun from WW2 the Sten would be tied for first with the 7.62cal Russian guns. They are the lightest and most reliable of their era and didn't suffer the same drawbacks as the German tube guns.

Knew a guy once who had a "demilled" Sten gun. The demill consisted of a hole drilled through the gun into the chamber and a filed down firing pin. He replaced the firing pin and shot it regularly. The shells would have a perfect little hole in them after firing from the hole in the chamber. Keep your arm out of the way of the hole because of the brass discs flying out of it.

4:38 As far as I know, Old English _scear_ would indeed be pronounced something like 'share'. 4:51 Thanks for inserting the photo, it's mighty helpful for those of us who aren't intimately familiar with flintlocks.

@jonathanferguson1211 7 месяцев назад

Correct - I'd be interested to know when the pronunciation shifted. Given that we kept the "scear" spelling into the 20th century, it might be later than we think.

@F1ghteR41 7 месяцев назад

@@jonathanferguson1211 Middle English Dictionary (part of University of Michigan's Middle English compendium) shows the earliest writings containing something close to _share_ (meaning ploughshare) appeared in the early fourteenth century, and provides with examples of early spellings like 'ssares' which help to see the transition. But it doesn't explain how the Old English spelling stuck along for *such* a long time, given that it no longer spelled the common pronounciation of the original word at all. My guess would be that some Early Modern antiquarian dug up an old spelling and promoted its use with more modern pronounciation. And he wouldn't have to dig very deep, given that we still have OE-like sc-spellings for 'sh' (like _scearpe_ for 'sharp') as late as c. 1200 or maybe even as late as 1275 (in 'Laȝamon's Brut').

And the constant switching back and forth between British and American nomenclature makes me appreciate how much of a headache the coordination (and technology exchange) between our two countries must have been back in the days of WWII. Especially with how particular the military is with terminology. Also, I'm rather impressed by how complex and clever the design is, and this is for a gun famous for it's simplicity! Finally, it's a great promo for World of Guns. I'm VERY interested in a "game" that shows me how guns work, especially when Jonathan describes it as better than this awesome video.
