Why is this Sten MK.II full of holes? With firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson

We quite literally peak behind the curtain in this week's episode to examine why making a semi-automatic firearm (like the Sten) is so much more difficult than one that's purely automatic (like the MP 40).

Join Jonathan as he takes this real-life World of Guns cross-sectional look at one of Britain's best known firearms from the Second World War.

Did we mention, this episode is brought to you by World of Guns? If you enjoyed Jonathan delving into the inner workings of the Sten, why not try it for yourself?
