MOVIE GUNS looking for a new submachine gun in WWII and liked the design of Patchett’s gun. Although only 120 were built for the war, they were used in a number of battles, including Operation Market Garden. In 1956, the Mark 4 (L2A3) came into service. It was used in a number of countries, including Argentina, Singapore, and Iraq. It weighs about 6 pounds without the magazine full of ammo. The magazine is loaded from the left side and it shoots 9x19mm ammunition. The buttstock folds under the gun, making it easy to carry when not in use. The firing pin is fixed into the face of the bolt, making it impossible to remove and it is open bolt firing. The bolt itself has helical grooves cut into it to keep dirt out of the inside of the receiver. The Sterling Mark 4 was in other films like The Wild Geese, The Spy Who Loved Me, Robocop, and You Only Live Twice, as well as many TV Shows and Video Games. However, it is most recognized by movie goers as the Blaster of choice for the dreaded Stormtoopers, though they don’t hit much with it other than set decorations. Both are part of a story loved by millions, if not billions, of fans. A story about a battle between good and evil, in a galaxy far, far away. May the Force be with you. Always. Serial number - Obscured. Most of the original BlasTech E-11 (Sterlings) were deactivated and sold as European style “Deacs” and were quite popular with the collectors. They seldom come up for sale. The receivers of those are not destroyed, so they cannot legally come to the United States unless imported as Post-1986 dealer samples. <strong>SAR</strong> Vol. 20, No. 2 92 MARCH 2016
