Well, I started a thread in OT about the history of silencers and someone stated that there were very early silencers in the ACW. I'll try looking around the site I found the pic on, maybe it'll give some hard facts.

Hm.... well, that's interesting....

According to this site, Sten guns weren't even available then.

"The Sten Gun

The British Army entered the Second World War without an adequate submachine gun of its own. During the battles on the Continent in 1940, the need for one was made apparent. At the time, only US Thompsons were available. A British copy of the German MP 28, called the Lanchester, was rushed into service, but it was complicated and not easily built in large numbers.

In early 1941, a prototype was put forth by the Royal Small Arms Factory in England, inspired by captured German MP40s. It was named by using the initials of its its designers, Major RV Sheffield and Mister HJ Turpin, and adding them to the first two letters of Enfield, the location of a small arms factory and arsenal. The Sten Gun was first used at Dieppe by Canadian troops. It completely replaced the Thompson in Northwest Europe by the time of the Normandy landings in June 1944."

Found a pic of the Lanchester.... maybe we could use it instead?

This is the site

It also has pics of the MP18 and MP28, those could be captured from Germans in the AAR.

EDIT: Sorry, no pics of the MP18 actually.

Adopted in 1941 as a submachine-gun for British Army and RAF, the Sten (Shepherd, Turpin, & Enfield) fired 9 x 19mm Parabellum rounds, rate of fire 600 rpm, magazine capacity 50 shots. The weapon was light, easy to manufacture, and popular with Commandos. An interesting historical fact on this weapon is that on May 27, 1942, during WW2, two Czech undercover agents dispatched by British SOE to assassinate the infamous Nazi SS Group Leader, Reinhard Heidrich, in Prague, used a Sten and a tank grenade to attack Heidrich's open Mercedes. The Czech with the Sten aimed it at Heidrich and the weapon JAMMED! Heidrich immediately opened fire with his P38 pistol at the two agents. The second agent threw his tank grenade, which exploded in the gutter near the Mercedes, wounding Heidrich, who died four days later of blood poisoning caused by pieces of exploded horsehair upholstery entering his Spleen!

I'll take my trusty Kar98
kar98k.gif
,
don't worry, I'm bringing my own ammo, two Mk2 grenades, one Mk5 grenade and, of course, my Luger
p08a.jpg

with which I'm also bringing my own 9mm ammo.

As Xenofontis has hinted, my character is an exiled German, who in is loathing of the Nazis decided to flee to the Allies to aid them in the struggle against the fascist threat.

If you don't mind, sir?

Blitzkrieg, I like! Also I like the reason why you should have it! A deserteur of the German Army, turns hero and saviour of the German peoples! Nice!:cool:

It might be a good thing to explain a little of how you ended up in England and being recruited in the AAR, youll know when.


Guys: I currently putting the briefing together so check back tonight!

Damn. As a US volunteer, that means I can't have a gangster Thompson, either, as those were around in that time, but deemed fine for American criminals and quite unfit for soldiers of the Crown.

I guess I have to take a Sten and two pineapples.
