Easily the LRDS takes this. Trained super soldiers as opposed to covert spies, and they have a proven track record, not just a bunch of shadowy, semi-successful missions. The SMLE kicks the Arisaka in the rear end, and while the supprssed Sten is a nice toy to have in battle, it lacks stopping power that the Thompson packs.
