Pretty good video on British SMGs

This is an interesting and well done video if you are into British SMGs.

I love the history. I didn't realize the Lancaster was kept in service for so long, It's is a heavy beast and that mag sticks way out. I always used STEN mags, mostly because I only had 2 Lancaster mags. Enjoy.

Note to STEN owners, please don't remove your barrel that way. Lift the collar lock up a little when you unscrew the collar. It's kind of bad for the collar lock and collar to ratchet together like that. The metal they made those things out of isn't the greatest and you will break and wear out the teeth. The STEN MK5 had an additional safety added to it. You could lock the bolt closed pushing the charging handle in so it could be carried more safely with a loaded magazine. Keeping the bolt locked back on safe allowed dirt and debris into the open area of the ejection port. the Mark II still in production also added that feature.
