A friends nephew was in the 82nd Airbourne as a Scout/Forward observer in the first gulf war. As a special ops unit, they were permitted their choice of weapons. All but one in his unit chose the Sten. He said that he loved it because it never failed and was easy to carry.

I remember him saying that they procured British ammo because US issue 9mm didn't work as well.
