The Sterling S11 was a 1965 prototype SMG designed by Frank Waters to be a cheaper, easier-to-produce alternative to the original Sterling SMG, utilizing a stamped receiver. Key features include an offset barrel and sights, interchangeable Sterling magazines, a Lanchester-style folding stock, and dual bayonet lugs for No. 5 and L1A1 bayonets. Despite innovative design elements like a ratcheting charging handle, technical flaws and high tooling costs led to its cancellation in 1967.
