The Sten Gun Mk 2 is a 9x19mm submachinegun famed for being "cheaper than a box of shoes". It was the standard British submachinegun for WW2, but armed many countries in the Allies too, both during and after the war. Hundreds of thousands have been imported or manufactured in Oceanyka.
This weapon's design is... less than ideal. Cheap, certainly, but less than ideal.
