The MP 40 was still a more complex weapon to make than the Sten, and far more expensive. As for the MG42, it was still a crew served weapon even...
The Sten is a poor example to hold up as an example of British weaponry. The SMLE was arguably the best bolt rifle of the war, accurate and...
That could be great for a little extra money if you don't mind being sprayed in the face with Clorox every time they open the door. .
