Wow! I had heard of such a Thompson conversion but thought it was just a prototype. Never heard of them doing that to the sten though. It'd be nice if I could ever see some pictures of such converted guns.
I think I may actually have some around here, some where, maybe. If I can find them I will post them if I can get my scanner to work.
Plus, while it may have been easier to produce the ammunition in the short term, factor in trying to send it to the soildiers, the right kind, right amount etc. It was just easier to modify the weapons and use less types of ammunition than to produce and try to ship many different types of ammunition to the soldiers. A lesson the Italians of World War II never learned in time.
