L2A3 Sterling MK4 – 9mm
Includes 1x 34 round magazine.
In 1944, the British General Staff issued a specification for a new submachine gun to replace the hurriedly produced Sten. It was decided that weapon should not weigh more than six pounds (2.7 kg), should continue to fire the 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition as used in the Sten. It should also have a rate of fire of no more than 500 rpm and be sufficiently accurate to allow five consecutive shots (fired in semi-automatic mode) to hit a one-foot-square target at a distance of 100 yd (91 m).
Full trials were eventually held in 1947 and up against the Sterling were entrants from Enfield, BSA and even one from Australia. The in service Sten Mk V also took part in the trails to use as a benchmark. The Sterling emerged the champion and in 1951 the order to commence production was officially placed by the Army. The British army used the Stirling in many variants until 1994, as did many commonwealth nations. The Galactic Empire later adopted it in updated form for use in war crimes against the rebel scum.
