Trivia

• The in-game model was based off of the Canadian "Longbranch" variant of the Sten Mk II, as evident by its skeletal stock. A British Sten MkII would possess a strut-type stock with a thumbhole instead. Modifying it with certain mods can produce rough approximations of the later Sten marks.
  • The Tier I Accuracy mod gives it the reinforced receiver of the Sten MkIII, and equipping the Tier II and III recoil reduction mods turn it into a Sten MkV. Despite the added foregrip however, the first person animation still has the player character holding onto the magazine as usual.
• The Sten MkII shares the same idle animation with the Patchett L2A1.
  • Like the Patchett, the Sten MkII is held in the "Sten grip" position, with the user's left hand gripping onto the weapon's magazine and the entire gun is then held at a slight angle. This handgripping style is not advisable to do in reality as improper grip of the hand may displace the magazine, cause wear to the magazine catch, or otherwise create a misfeed by jamming it too tightly into the weapon. What would've been the correct grip position was to hold the Sten like a rifle, with the wielder's left hand cradling the underside of its barrel shroud.
