AGM Full Metal WWII MkII Sten British 9mm Full Auto Airsoft AEG Submachine Gun

"This is one tough little slugger! It gets cool looks from the others and is surprisingly accurate. Look online for Sten MK II 7-mag pouch and sling for that classic look and get extra mags to feed this beast. If you want a unique gun that also runs well, THIS IS IT!!!

"Purchased the British WWII, MkII Sten AEG Submachinegun on 6 November 2024 but had trouble finding a battery to fit. I finally found an 8.4v, 1600 mAh NiMH battery/charger (.677" by .770" by 8.25") stick battery. The battery is a tight fit in the tube stock; it takes a little patience to nestle it in place, then slide the stationary stock in place and screw it down without crimping the wire, but it can be done.

My first impression upon unboxing the gun, that arrived in a well padded but plain unmarked box, was how crude and ungainly the gun is. Especially when compared to the accurate reproductions in the Legend versions offered by Umarex that includes the Thompson, the German MP40, and the crude US Grease Gun which is elegant by comparison to the Sten. It wasn't a disappointment as much as a shock at the crude construction that faithfully represents the real thing. Handling the ugly duck was enlightening. The MkII Sten shares none of the refinement found in the modern equivent, the 9mm Sterling MkIV, but I was pleasantly surprised when I loaded the magazine, then fired the Sten offhand. Despite the austere construction, I easily stitch a ragged hole in the target from 25 feet. Although it lacked the ergonomic and polished feel of the Sterling, the airsoft version clearly performed just as accurately. Very impressive!

Although I bought the Sten to add to a collection of historic firearm replicas, this submachine gun could easy fill in as a handy airsoft "gamer," which I don't do. There is nothing beautiful about it, but the moderate rate of fire (I estimate the cyclic rate is close to 600 rpm) is similar to the Sterling, which happens to be very controllable on fully auto mode. A steady diet of WW II movies influenced my decision to buy the Sten, and I'm not disappointed - now I know. Actually handling the Sten reproduction is surreal and well worth the modest price of under $200. Unfortunately, there is virtually no recoil, and the sound of the electric motor is fairly muted. I found that operating the actual 9mm Sterling similar to aiming a garden hose, and the Sten gives the same impression.

Despite the crudeness and poor ergonomics, I would confidently rely on the Sten as a primary airsoft "gaming" weapon. Of all the airsoft weapons that I fired, the Sten Mk II offers the closest realism to firing the real thing. The easy of directing unaimed fire is probably due to it being shaped like a pipe, which allows you to point and squirt rounds without aiming. I typically only buy one spare mag with each airsoft weapon, but I do believe I'll be compelled to buy several more for this one.

"Great gun no complaints except the hop up - it has hop up but adjusting it has no effect whatsoever which isn’t that big of a deal to me . It can handle a lipo just fine but makes it tough to shoot off just one shot at a time. Overall great gun I run it stock and it’s plenty accurate.

Pros - durable all metal gun gun. Very accurate out of the box. Lipo ready . Solid rate of fire but able to just fire off one at a time so you can actually use it as most fields if you have good trigger control . Looks tough lots of compliments “ oh wow is that a sten?!!”

Cons - only full auto. BBS get lodged in the gun doesn’t effect performance really but occcasionally you pull the trigger nothing comes out . Hard to tell when mag is empty and the mags aren’t very durable.

Overall darn good gun not my favorite but it’s durable eye catcher.

"I could not be more pleased by the historical accuracy of this iconic replica, although I am far from expert on historical weaons or Airsoft, for that matter. I have had no serious issues with jamming, although there seems to be some variance in quality of the several magazines I purchased (they are identical to the ones used for the MP-40 replica). To the extent I can tell, the specifications detailed by Evike are perfectly accurate. And this Sten is certainly eye-catching, if you are into catching eyes. Someone said he could not look at this thing without imagining David Niven in The Guns of Navarone. My customer service experience with Evike has also been excellent. In fact, I am so happy with this that I have been reciting a bit of doggerel verse some soldier composed about his Sten during the War. If you search for "Ode to a Sten Gun" on Youtube, you can see me holding my Sten and reciting the poem.

"great gun! don't regret purchase!
For those of you who didn't read the description well enough, no it does not come with a battery.

"I've had this gun for a while and i love it.

Cons:
Battery space ( really only takes a stick type)
Mag cap is 50-55 rounds but isn't to big of a deal if you have multiply mags

Overall this gun is great. I've been able to use it in a few skirmishes and it's performed better than my expectations. Anyone looking to get an awesome looking gun and well performing gun I think you should invest.

"This gun is great!!
Pros=
-full metal (literally EVERYTHING!) the only thing that isn't metal on the outside is the orange tip.
-nice weight (although I prefer the added realism of heavier guns, so you may not like the hefty weight if you want a light gun)
-period-correct
-full metal
-durable
-good capacity
-full metal mid-cap mags
-full metal

Cons=
-awkward to hold with your left hand if you're a righty while shouldering (I wouldn't hold it by the mag if I were you. There's no fear of it breaking or jamming, but with the real-steel, that would easily jam the gun. Plus it's just not an effective way to shoot)

Other than that, this gun is great! If only there were a GBB version...

"Pros
Full metal
Fixed decent sights
Crazy rate of fire with any 9.6
Comes with asia-to-u.s outlet adapter for charging the battery
Comes with decent battery and Allen key to unscrew stock
Fixed hopup
Mag well can move to the side and downwards for transport
Cons
First gun to actually get a BB stuck in the barrel
Mag catch somehow unscrewed itself and is stiff(hasn't unscrewed since)
Goes through batteries quick
Proprietary mags
Must unscrew charging handle if u wanna change the position(DONT COMPLETELY UNSCREW, VERY DIFFICULT TO SCREW BACK ON)
Overall
Sturdy And affordable ww2 air soft gun that's very underpriced for its quality

"I received this gun for my birthday back in November, and I must say I am very impressed with the product that I got.

PROS:
-Shoots fast & hard.
-Great ROF
-Great feel to it.
-Unique design captured perfectly by AGM.
-Feeds bb's well.
-Made mostly of metal parts; feels realistic.
-Shoots only full auto (I find this a pro because the real Sten only shot in full auto).

CONS:
-Magazine only holds 50 rounds. Spare magazines have been sold out on here forever too.
And that's it for cons.

All in all, a great gun for WW2 airsoft collectors (like myself), or for somebody just looking for an awesome and unique airsoft gun.
FINAL RATING: 5/5

"i had this gun for about 3 months and it is absalutly amazing, it is really durable, because it is full metal and it shoots at a perfect fps, it is a wonderful smg and a ww2 gun. it looks amazing and feels really nice. i use this as a primary and i sugest u get extra mags.

pros

full metal
respectable rate of fire

ww2 gun
looks amazing
shoots really far for a smg
and has a good spread and is ok acurate
has a good hop up system

cons
mag holds only 55, but u can get a 110 rnd mag for it

and thts prety much it

annyone who wants a ww2 smg tht is purley awsome, should get this, i sugest getting it from airsoft megastore because it comes with the 8.4 battery instead of the lipo tht i heard can break ur gun after a wile.

"This gun is the best gun that I've ever used. It is very accurate and has a very descent range for a smg. I highly recomend this gun for anyone wanting a good gun for good price.

Pros:
-Nice, realistic weight
-Full metal EVERYTHING (except orange tip)

Dont let the cons stop, buy this gun!

"I got to use this AEG at a game on Oct 24th 2009.

Pros:
Can take a stick battery in the stock
takes King Arms MP40 midcaps (110 round mags)
Nice ROF
feels good in the hand
Best gun ever for going prone
Full metal

Cons:
Lipo battery (I dont like using Lipos)
Pistol grip is a little uncomforable. Once you get onto the field you wont notice it though (atleast for me)
No Safety (always carry a barrel bag with this one and remove mag after game)

Maybe Cons or Pros
Full auto only (some people might find this a con)

My personal Rating 9.2 out of 10
I personally will be buying one.
