It’s not that. They get rifles across their workbenches often so it looks like they do that.

Lol uzi sten

What's a good plan for a machine pistol then?

Depends on how crazy you wanna get

Idk probably that or something. They literally built sten's out of scrap metal and bedsprings

Nothing crazy, lel, maybe just a .380 or 9mm

I don't have any need for one though. My ar suits me well enough

Considering trying a binary trigger but idk about the reliability

Aren’t stens stupid simple to build?

^

Yes. But stupid easy to fuck up

Soldiers literally built them in the field

Like legit the parts kids are stupid cheap

And receiver blanks with jigs are like $20

Sometimes they like to dump the mag on full autist mode if you bump them too hard or set them down

Damn, how fucked did a brit have to be to do that?

@Artemis

-implying a homemade machine pistol would be any better

Lol k

They couldn't manufacture enough, and some were so shitty that the soldiers could do a better job

Mine takes Glock mags.

They made over 4 million in wwii

*but does it take Glock mags*

Not as cheap as when they had the mk2 kits

But 🤷‍♂️

@TonyB yes. You just have to screw down the set screw.

Well shit

It will take just about any mag with a little manipulation

NOT well. But it can

It'll take folded sheet metal with a piece of bed spring in it

^

Also supposedly weighs 7 pounds unloaded

Chonk

Not as chonk as the Thompson i guess

Hey, if it goes pew pew pew

I’ve wanted to do a 80% sten build cause even if they’re shit I’ve always had a thing for them

Like those and eastern bloc shit have always just had that second kind of cool for me
