I think any gun that looks unique is cool whether its ugly or not. Something different i suppose! How the hell do they manage to fit a battery in it with such a small frame? I thought it was a gas gun or something.

It is absolutely fugly. But it is peculiarly beautiful at the same time. You'll pick it up and just think ... "yeah, I'll have some of that" whilst humming the theme to a bridge too far and wishing you could hav a ww2 milsim game in and around Arnhem and the suburb of Oostrebek (sp?) :pac:

There is apparently a GBB version of it being made by somebody incidentally. Who I couldn't tell you

The day you find any gun attractive, sexy or hot you have greater problems than one of poor taste. :P

I look forward to seeing one of these stens at a game, I'd love to get a grip of the ergonomics, poor ergonomics are great fun to have to deal with on a unique gun, gives you a taste of realism and adds to the experience.

Damn straight. If I were to get any WWII guns it'd be a Sten or a Kar, pobably a Kar though as my initials are SS. You can guess the nickname that got me

Firstly, A.K's are beautiful...........anyone who thinks differently has no sense for the aesthetic:D

Secondly, if ye wanna do a more realistic WWII British loadout ye wanna get a sten. Some ppl say "just get a thompson the Brit commando's used them", and while it's true that they did they didn't do so in the quantity thats commonly believed. For one thing in the early days before America entered the war only a couple of factories were producing the Tommy and couldn't keep up with foreign demand, and also cost was a major decider with the British government. The Sten was dirt cheap and the Tommy was foreign and had to be imported from abroad. Also the Sten could take MP40 mags which was a plus.

And i think looks nice

First of all the Thompson is one of the loveliest guns ever made. The sten is an inbreed mutant gun and the AK is damned...... Damned.... It's fudging cool whatever it is.
