Case for Sten

Sten - cool, but ultimately useless weapon. Fun long range, but not good enough for real play.
The problem is obvious - natural limitation - 10 bullets overheat.
What can you do with 10 bullets - 2 headshots, 3 body shots at 40% accuracy - 10-11 bullets. Even the most perfect scenario to kill 1 person you need close to 10 bullet limit.
At best, people have accuracy 33% with MP40/Thompson. So consider the following scenario for Thompson to kill a person with 130hp while shooting 33% acc.
(130-50)/18/.33 = 14 bullets minimum with a headshot
130/18/.33 = 22 minimum without headshot
MP40 is 14 hp per body shot, but a higher accuracy and same effect.
Hallway fights are easier as the accuracy may go up to 50-60% per one fight, but not across all games. It's pretty stable - 33% at best (study based on thousands of games)
So now let's assume sten all-day accuracy ought to be a little better - 40%
(130-50)/14/.40 = 15 minimum with a headshot
130/14/.40=24 minimum
Considering this, I think sten overheat limit should provide a possibility for a good kill. 1 hs + some body bullets that is:
12 bullet minimum with 50% accuracy
or 15 for an average fight with one headshot
So
Proposing to make sten 16 bullet overheat (2 reloads in 1 clip)
