I'd have to second the Sterling as being unreliable (amazing for a post-WWII SMG design) and inaccurate. Apparently it had a high chance of a misfire if you filled the magazine all the way, so experienced soldiers would under-fill by a couple rounds. Also, I was reading of a South African policeman who used one in on a rioter who came for him and missed with the entire magazine. He ended up clonking the guy on the head with it.
