I was thinking about why they mounted advanced gear on a POS like the Sten, I guess the Mk. II was more reliable than the Mk. I, it would only be used at short range so there was no need for a full-power rifle. Further, a suppressed SMG in tandem with IR night-vision would also allow for a kind of "stealth" weapon, neither seen nor heard at night.
