I had a couple, my first was a 1942 Long Branch I bought from a Warrant Officer that claimed he "Found" it hanging in a tree in Germany
back in the '50s. Possible, there was enough stuff still around over there at the time. It worked perfectly.

The Sten MkII is not "simplicity", rather it is an example of extremely intelligent design.
If you were to class subguns into generations, one could argue that a STEN MkI is a Gen 1.5 subgun, but a MkII has leapt the MP40 and PPSh into a Gen 2.5.
In reality a MkIII Sten is a MkI* converted to modern production methods, truely analagous to the relationship between an MP38 and an MP40

If you had a solid tube Mk2 - or better still, a Mk5 Sten and 10 good magazines the worked in YOUR gun, that was all you needed. It was as safe as the other SMG's too. In that fired when you wanted it to and wouldn't fire when you didn't want it to, contrary to some ill informed writings.
But If I had to carry one in action again, it'd be a trusty L2A3 Sterling. The Rolls Royce of SMG's
