SMG L2A3 MK 4

Very nice photo of the Sterling SMG - the replacement for the WWII era mass-produced Sten guns. These were in service from 1953 to 1988 and were replaced by the L85A1 IW (a much larger bullpup assault rifle). With a much smaller magazine and a few superficial modifications, it also made appearances in Star Wars as the Storm Trooper blasters. As a piece of minor trivia, the storm troopers had to use the Sterlings-turned-blasters left-handed because even the short magazine would catch on their armor when used right-handed.
nota: senjata ini dulu kita menembak di lapang sasar pistol kedet selepas kita habis buat merempuh halangan. senjata ini jika terhentak boleh meletup tanpa picit picu. oleh itu sebagai langkah keselamatan kena tanggalkan magazine.
