英语词汇sten gun的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Sten gun. This British light machine gun of World War II is an unusual blend of the first initials of its two inventors’ names, Sheppard and Turpin, plus the first two letters of the name of their country, England. The Sten gun, or Sten, is not extremely accurate, but is easy to operate, can be fired from the shoulder, weighing only eight pounds, and fires rapidly at the rate of 550 rounds per minute, making it an effective short-range weapon. Mass-produced mainly from stamped parts, the inexpensive Sten should really be classed as a submachine gun, like the American Thompson, or Tommy gun, and the German Sch- meisser, or burp gun.
