While I don't disagree, the fact that a firearm "will fuck you up" should not be a point in its favor. In proper hands a .22 caliber pistol is quite deadly, ask the Mossad if you dare.

I mean, saying "X gun or type of gun is awesome cause it'll fuck you up" is like saying "This car is bad ass cause the engine runs." Its just....kind of something you expect from it. :P

Aha, but that's just more points in their favour.

The car's made out of corrugated iron and drainage pipe yet it still manages to get up to road speed. Bra-fucking-vo, I say!

I'm pretty much with you on this one.

The Sten and the Grease Gun (more so the Sten), afaik, were unreliable at best. I've heard it said that you don't shoot a M3, you just press the trigger and tag along for the experience. As to the Sten, once again, I've heard it said that "in the hands of a trained shooter, its practically useless."

Everyone loves the Thompson, and I suppose its pretty bitchin, cause ".45 Murrica fuck ya" or something, even if had to be simplified several times over before it could enter mass production.enough could be produced to keep up with war time demand.

You know, I honestly don't know too much about the MP38/MP40, but I've never heard anyone praising hem for their accuracy.



I think that is true for early model Stens, but later models (Mk V onwards) were pretty effective in the role they were intended to play and remained in service until the late 1950's/60's. The reliability issues were more to do with the magazine than the weapon itself, which functioned very efficiently in the western desert if I remember correctly.

The MP40 is to the best of my knowledge considered the best SMG of WWII, and was frequently swapped by allied troops for their Stens or M3s, and was generally well regarded in terms of their accuracy compared to other weapons of the era.

5 and 10 rounds burst used at 25 and 50m, 5 rounds burst at longer ranges. Standing shooting position.

Overall P/H worst to best:

Sten, MP-40, Thompson, PPSH-41, Beretta, M56.



25m - all equal



50m:

- Sten 80% hit ratio

- rest ~95%



100m:

- Sten - 50% hit ratio

- MP-40 - 60%

- Thompson - 70%

- rest ~90%



150m:

Sten - 30%

MP-40 - 35%

Thompson - 40%

Beretta - 65%

PPSh - 70%

M56 - 80%



200m :

Sten - 10%

MP-40 - 15%

Thompson - 15%

Beretta - 25%

PPSh - 35%

M56 - 45%

Suomi SMG acceptance tests. Left target is single shots, right one is 50 shots in bursts. Distance 100 metres:

I think that's probably about the Sten II, am I right? By the time it reached the Mk V it had improved considerably, I believe.

Short, because it has almost the same level of reliability and ease of production as long, while having more accuracy and less recoil.

The pistol variant is beautiful.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.
