The STEN (or Sten gun) was a family of British submachine guns chambered in 9×19mm and used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War. They were notable for having a simple design and very low production cost making them effective insurgency weapons for resistance groups.The Sten was a blowback-operated submachine gun firing from an open bolt with a fixed firing pin on the face of the bolt. This means the bolt remains to the rear when the weapon is cocked, and on pulling the trigger the bolt flies forward under spring pressure, stripping the round from the magazine, chambering it and firing the weapon all in the same movement. There is no breech locking mechanism, the rearward movement of the bolt caused by the recoil impulse is arrested only by the mainspring and the bolt's inertia. on 27th May 1942 couple of czechoslovak soldiers Josef Gabcik and Jan Kubis assassinated deputy reichs-protector Reinhard Heydrich in Prague with use of this type of weapon. Unfortunately the Gabcik gun malfunctioned and Kubis successfully fatally wounded Heydrich with a converted grenade.
