Another reason for the Sten being made was for dropping to particen and resistance units. With the ready available ammunition and mp40/38 mags fitting the Sten it was the perfect weapon for them. By the way another name for the Sten was "A Plumbers Nightmare" and the safety was next to none. They said if you cocked a fully loaded Sten then tossed it into a room it would start shooting.
