  1. The Sten Gun. The gun of WW2 that stood out. The gun that won the war. Millions were made very quickly and cheaply. Mainly by girls in a toy factory. Designed and made by Triang Toys in England, by a man who had never seen a machine gun, never mind understand how they worked. It had few parts, using a cheap pipe and bed spring. British ingenuity. By the end of WW2 most British soldiers wanted one as they were effective, light, being easy to carry around. The French, Germans and Chinese copied it. The US was about to produce it en-mass. It could be made in a shed using basic freely available parts. I have seen one in stainless or chrome.
