what they use

[Nickona]

politely stfu NOW there is a sten gun and a sterling gun which replaced the sten gun

yes I know the difference (that was my Dads Personal weapon) but I was mearly alarmed at the fact that Hubert said that they used it in Iraq, when there have to be far better guns

 

[Cam-the-airsoft-sniper]

please do a little reasearch before you post.(no offense)

Well did you know the AMR used by the FFL? You could always expand it isteady of complaining.

But there is one thing that isnt right here, you say german army, i say all german forces (just assault rifles -the P8)

Like I said, it was used as a driver's door gun, but only in Iraq and Afghanistan - both we and the yanks used them. Mounted on all (or most) SF vehicles, both combat (land rovers, hummers) and the covert civilian cars.

It's one of the smallest, powerful and - most important - reliable (in sandy conditions) SMGs around. The fact that the L34 Sterling is still in service with the Indian armed forces shows how good it is - 70 years on, it's still in service. The reason it was used over other small SMGs - like the MP5K, MP7 and so on - is that the others aren't terribly reliable in very dusty conditions (and unlike the MP7, it uses a very common round).

The Sterling is a very low maintenance weapon, meaning it can be used as a driver's emergency quick response weapon. It isn't meant to replace his rifle/carbine - it's mounted under the dashboard/on the door with a bungie coard - if whilst you're on a covert mission someone walks over to your car and realises that you're SF, you can very quickly pull the Sterling out.

The Philipenes military still use the M3 'grease gun'. I can't find the photos anymore, but they've modded the crap out of them. I remember an outcry by classic gun fanatics, because the things were covered in RIS and the like.

 

[M_P]

Hubert, was the em-2 ever in service? I seem to remember reading it was for 2 years or something?

 

[Nickona]

thanks hubert, i'm going to try and find that M3

 

[lil airsofter]

no, it was prototyped but never put into service.

 

[Hubert]

Errr...sort of.

Production of Service Rifle Number 9, Automatic starts around 1948.

It isn't until 1953-54 that Britain is forced by the US via NATO to take the 7.62 and find it has to drop the EM-2 (which would be very difficult to modify to 7.62) - so there's roughly 3-4 years of it being around and issued to some units. It was never given out en-masse as it was taking Enfield and the various arms factories time to re-engineer tools to build it.

Did it see combat service? Let's put it this way, there was plenty of opportunity in those 4 years for at least 1 element of the British Armed forces to use it (outside of field testing). A book I've read about Korea makes passing mention to "glory seeking b*****s, looking like big toy soldiers and carrying a new back-to-front Enfield rifle that looks like it was mangled". I assume from that it was very limited trials in Korea.

 

[M_P]

Answered my question

The EM-2, Also known as Rifle No.9 Mk1 or "Janson rifle", was an experimental British assault rifle. It was briefly adopted by British forces in 1951, but the decision was overturned very shortly thereafter by Winston Churchill's incoming government in an effort to secure NATO standardisation of small arms and ammunition in the face of American intransigence.
