K'NEX Sten MKII

The Sten guns are a large family of firearms developed in the United Kingdom. The gun is recognizable for its horizontal fed magazines. It was cheap to manufacture and known for being plagued with functionality problems. Fragile internals, constant bullet jams were all common issues that were addressed in the second generation of Sten- the MKII. Firing in only full auto and coming without a safety switch, the Sten is the best example of a firearm being developed with a cost effective mindset.
