More British weapons, this time the Sten. First picture is the Sten with its sling. It's registered with the BATFE, of course.
Second shows the trigger mechanism housing which was apparently hit with a bullet, my guess is a 45. It still works although the selector switch doesn't and mine is more more or less permanently in full auto mode. It's great fun to shoot, of course, but accuracy, even on a torso sized target is really 'hit or miss' beyond about 20 yards.
Third shows the Sten magazine pouch on the left and a pouch for three of the 50 round magazines for the Navy's Lanchester SMG. The Lanchester mags will fit the Sten.
Fourth and fifth are the early and late model magazine loaders. The later model is not only slimmer and lighter; it also loads the magazines faster.
