French Resistance cache unearthed including STENs named ‘Pepette’ and ‘Alice’ (PHOTOS)
A couple remodeling an old home in north-central France found a cache of ammo, grenades and submachine guns hidden under a granite floor, The Lyonne Republicaine reported.
The find was made in July by the couple in the Quarré-les-Tombes area, about 150 miles away from Paris. Cached under the floor were three STEN guns, over a dozen Britsh Mills bomb type fragmentation grenades, three handguns, more than 1,000 rounds of ammo, and several Bren light machine gun magazines.

Henry Kissinger said, "Military Men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in Foreign Policy" and has not denied this quote to this day.
Cool find. I had an opportunity a while back to shoot a mark 2 sten, and was amazed how something so inexpensive looking could function as well as it did. Although it can of course be used simply as a bullet hose, if you use the proper technique you can wring some decent accuracy out of it also.
