The '''{{w|Sten}}''' or '''Sten Gun''' is an {{w|9x19mm Parabellum}} open-bolt submachine gun developed in 1940 by the {{w|United Kingdom}} during {{w|World War II}}. The Sten was commonly used by {{w|Commonwealth Forces}} such as {{w|Australia}} and the {{w|British Raj}}, and used by resistance forces against the {{w|Empire of Japan}} and {{w|Nazi Germany}}, such as the {{w|Free French}} forces. The primary purpose of the Sten was to be a cheaply produced submachine gun, compared to the American [[M1A1 Thompson]]. The Sten had many variations in its service, in particular the '''Sten Mark II''', featuring a fixed stock, and the '''Sten Mark II(S)''', an integrally suppressed model used for clandestine operations. Due to the mass production and distribution during World War II and the relatively cheap cost of production, the Sten has seen use in wars around the world, particularly in post-colonial conflicts and proxy wars.

! rowspan=2 | [[Weapon Type]]
During the Vietnam War, the Sten Mark II was distributed to South Vietnam as surplus infantry weapons many of which originated from the {{w|First Indochina War}}, many of which were captured for use by North Vietnam. The Sten Mark II(S) was primarily used for operations by the British {{w|Special Air Service}} and the American {{w|Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group|MACV-SOG}}.

! rowspan=2 | [[Fire Rate]]
==Overview==
! rolspan=2 | [[Bullet Spread °]]
The Sten Gun, much like the suppressed [[Sten Gun SOG]], is only available for the [[U.S. Army]] [[Medic]], [[Engineer]] and [[Radioman]].
! rolspan=2 | [[Range Modifier]]
 
! rolspan=2 | [[Muzzle Velocity]]
Compared to the Sten Gun SOG, the Sten Gun has a slightly higher base damage at 37 instead of 35, a lower weight due to the lack of a suppressor, a slightly higher range modifier, and a wider bullet spread while firing. Due to the slightly higher damage and wider spread, as well as the higher range modifier, the Sten Gun can be suited to more medium-range engagements than the SOG variant.

*The Sten Gun's HUD icon features a differing Sten Mark III wire stock instead of the model's fixed Sten Mark II stock.
