Image description: Sterling 9 mm sub machine gun Mk 8 1975 (c). After successful commercial sales the Sterling was accepted into the British Army in 1956 and slowly replaced the aged Stens still in active use. It remained the Army's standard automatic weapon for 30 years. The magazine held 34 9 mm cartridges and the gun could be fired with butt stock extended or folded. This type of weapon was mainly issued to NCOs and officers.
