Several resources on the internet describe the basic history of the Sten Submachine Gun, including how its name is a combination of acronyms, and that production numbers totaled approximately 3. For me, the most fascinating thing about the Sten was how it was born of necessity during some of the darkest hours of British struggle in World War II. If you imagine your country being bombed nightly, along with the truly daunting possibility that an invasion and German occupation could occur at any time. Sten was born. Britain procured as many Thompsons and other weapons from America as possible, but needed more guns of all kinds. Their inbound supply chain was sniped by German submarines, and a generally bleak picture existed around survival. Yet through all this, Britain was able to muster the necessary resources to prevent invasion, and the Sten played an active role in the story. Parts for the Sten were fabricated in many machine shops around the country, providing a decentralized manufacturing base for the weapon that made it less vulnerable to the results of a single, successful German bombing.

Reading articles about the use of a firearm through the years helps provide a snapshot in time perspective, and can aid in understanding how certain weapons may have developed a particular reputation. The Sten is no different, and the following articles provide examples of numerous nicknames for the Sten Submachine Gun that developed through use.
