M1917 Machine-Gun Platoon (Late War x12 Figures Plastic)

The M1917 Machine Gun is a heavy, belt-fed firearm that was widely used by the United States military during World War I and World War II. Designed by John Moses Browning, the M1917 is a water-cooled machine gun that fires from an open bolt.

The gun has a barrel length of 24 inches and weighs around 103 pounds. It fires the .30-06 Springfield cartridge at a rate of 450-600 rounds per minute. The M1917 is typically operated by a team of two soldiers, with one serving as the gunner and the other feeding ammunition into the gun.

The M1917 features a distinctive H-shaped receiver and a heavy tripod mount, which helps to stabilize the gun and make it more accurate. It also has a large wooden handle on the top of the receiver, which allows the gunner to adjust the elevation of the gun.

During World War I, the M1917 was used extensively by American forces, both in Europe and in the Pacific. It was also used by other Allied forces, including the British and the French. In World War II, the M1917 was largely replaced by newer machine guns, but it continued to be used in some roles, such as for training purposes and by some National Guard units.

The M1917 Machine Gun is a classic example of a heavy machine gun, with a distinctive design and a proven track record of effectiveness in combat.
