斯登衝鋒槍
Sign in to saveThe STEN (or Sten gun) is a British submachine gun chambered in 9×19mm which was used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and during the Korean War. The Sten paired a simple design with a low production cost, facilitating mass production to meet the demand for submachine guns. As well as equipping regular units, the Sten was distributed to resistance groups within occupied Europe. Its simple design made it an effective insurgency weapon for resistance groups.

斯登衝鋒槍（Sten，有時寫作STEN或Sten gun）是英國在二戰時期大量製造的9×19毫米口徑衝鋒槍，至停產前一共制造了超過4百萬把。該槍是英軍在二戰期間的主力衝鋒槍，並一直採用至1960年代才被史特林衝鋒槍所取代。 斯登是一种低成本和易於生產的武器，而STEN一詞是一個首字母縮略字，分別指設計師Reginald Shepherd、Harold Turpin及生產商Enfield（恩菲爾德）。其官方英文正式名稱Carbine, Machine, Sten中的Carbine並非指一般的卡賓槍，而是指短又輕的槍械。
