Thanks Johnny .

I've fired several Stens . They work , but I found it very hard to get excited enough to buy one

The slow rate of fire (450ish) makes the M3 very different to fire . After awhile you get the feel for it though .

Yes , if given a choice , the M16 platform seems the best choice .

imo
