STEN MK2 SOE Commando Grip Full Steel Submachine Gun Replica - Grey [AGM]

The STEN Mk II (S) SOE replica in Commando Grip configuration by AGM is a unique construction inspired by one of the most iconic special operations weapons of the 20th century. This version replicates the variant used by British SOE units, equipped with a Welsilencer suppressor and a simplified design featuring a pistol grip instead of a stock. Although the original exists as a gas-powered GBB version, this model is based on the proven AEG electric platform by S&T, ensuring greater reliability and ease of use in airsoft conditions.

Special operations heritage

The STEN Mk II (S) is one of the most recognizable suppressed weapon platforms used in special operations before the era of modern suppressed systems such as the MP5SD. As early as the 1940s, it was used by British commandos in special operations across Europe, and its simplified construction allowed for easy adaptation to various combat conditions.

In later decades, the platform was also used outside Europe,including in special operations in Southeast Asia, where it saw action in covert missions around the Vietnam-Cambodia border. Notably, the configuration with a suppressor and pistol grip was particularly valued by operators for its compactness and effectiveness in stealth operations.

STEN, the shadow weapon in SOE configuration

The SOE (Special Operations Executive) variant stands out due to the use of the Welsilencer suppressor and an extremely simplified design. In this configuration, the traditional stock was replaced with the so-called Commando Grip, significantly shortening the overall length and improving mobility.

The “S" designation refers to the suppressed version, where the integral suppressor worked in combination with a modified barrel to reduce the sound signature. The set also includes a suppressor cover, which served both as protection and improved handling comfort.

Thanks to this, the replica is perfectly suited for World War II loadouts, historical reenactments, and milsim scenarios, especially those focused on stealth gameplay.

Commando Grip, compact advantage

The use of a Commando Grip instead of a stock was typical for special operations, where mobility and the ability to operate in confined spaces were crucial. This configuration made the STEN one of the shortest and most maneuverable weapons in its class.

In practice, this translates into better control in tight environments, faster target acquisition, and greater freedom of movement. At the same time, the distinctive “partisan-style" character of the platform is preserved, setting it apart from classic stock-based designs.

Raw construction and realism

The replica retains the minimalist, industrial character of the original - a steel body, simple form, and extended suppressor give it a unique look. The suppressor serves not only a visual purpose but also a practical one - in the airsoft version, it can house the battery and includes a built-in tracer unit, increasing functionality.

The entire design focuses on faithfully replicating the historical character while maintaining user comfort.

Mechanism and performance in practice

The replica is based on the proven AEG system by AGM, ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance. At its core is a dedicated V7 gearbox, known from platforms such as the M14, delivering stable and smooth operation.

Inside, steel gears and durable internal components ensure good performance and longevity. The system runs on 6 mm metal slide bearings, increasing resistance to wear.
The replica features an adjustable hop-up system, allowing precise control of BB trajectory. Inside, there is a precision aluminum inner barrel measuring 330 mm in length with a 6.02 mm diameter, ensuring good accuracy and shot consistency.

Thanks to its characteristics, the model performs best in stealth operations, where mobility, atmosphere, and fire control are key - both in night games and historical scenarios.
