The Sten!
The Sten gun, a budget-friendly British WWII submachine gun, was designed for rapid mass production at approximately $10 per unit. Despite its simple, almost crude appearance, it utilized a reliable blowback action chambered in 9mm with a 32-round magazine. Its side-mounted magazine was a notable design feature but also a common source of misfeeds, though variants like the suppressed Mk II (S) were also developed.
