Although Oldsweat made a few alterations to it, it looks exactly like they do when warren sends them out.
The alterations that are on that thread warren now does for an extra
ah ok so he swaps location of battery for extra mag capacity?
Essentially, yes, it also gives you the facility to use a mini battery rather than the AK stick battery.
I think it may also take a large type 7.2 Volt battery, Ideal if you have a thompson.
ok..
forgive me but im getting confused, wut is the difference between a Mk V(S) and a Mk II (S)
Give me a min and Ill show you.
The Mk II Sten The standard sten used through out the British and commonwealth forces.

A Mk II(S) Sten Note the Silencer used mainly by Commando and Resistance type units. Some times with a pistol type rear grip.

A MKV Sten used mainly by the airborne units, and later on by most units in the british army. By the Suez crisis this was the only sten in general service.

Apologys for using relics but its the only place with all 5 types on the same page. Detail is'nt too great but it should be enough to give you the general idea.
thanks for the help, it all seemed so confusing lol
No worries. Anything else while im on a roll?
hmm actually, would british commandos wear the same denison smock as paras, or would they wear something different?
Depends. On D Day the two smocks wear vastly different but by november '44 the Dennison was in use with the commando's.
What sort of period wear you thinking of?
ok, and i think i have run out of questions, thanks for the help
There is an acount of a group of para's landing on one of the invasion beaches and linking up with the rest of 9 para at the merville battery. They were led by 9Btn.'s AO, as he couldnt jump because he had a broken arm from a training drop.
They were in Jepps and they just drove like lunatics to re-enforce the rest of the battalion.
So if you wanted to push it a bit you could do both D-Day Para and Commando with Para gear.
cool that determined to fight
He is an exeptianal charicter, he was the chairman of a the local sweet firm Trebbor for quite a while and was still quite a big fish in the local princes trust up till a few years ago. He must have been in his Eightys by then.

Maj. Bill Mills if anybody wants to search the web for him.
i may just
Good look, as I cant find anything.
