{"product_id":"ap-advancing-rifleman","title":"AP Advancing Rifleman","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne cartridge fed almost the entire American squad, and that was no accident. The .30-06 Springfield round — designed back in 1906, as its name records — was the common thread running through the U.S. infantry's firepower: the rifleman's M1 Garand fired it, and so did the BAR gunner's automatic rifle, the sniper's Springfield, and the belt-fed Browning machine guns supporting them. It meant a single kind of ammunition could resupply riflemen, automatic riflemen and machine gunners alike — a quiet logistical elegance that kept a squad in the fight when the shooting was heaviest. Powerful and long-ranged, the .30-06 gave American infantry reach and hitting power from the smallest weapon to the largest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rifleman moves forward at a wary crouch, M1 Garand held ready across his body, field pack on his back and net-covered helmet — the ordinary infantryman who made up the bulk of the squad. He shares his .30-06 with the men beside him: link him to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ap-bar-gunner\"\u003eBAR Gunner\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ap-the-sniper\"\u003eSniper\u003c\/a\u003e, whose very different weapons all eat the same round, and to the advancing riflemen of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hitting-the-beach\"\u003eHitting the Beach\u003c\/a\u003e. Strung out in a cautious advance across a Normandy field or hedgerow, riflemen like this are the connective tissue of any D-Day diorama — the many, moving forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eModel: DD400 \/ King \u0026amp; Country \/ 1\/30 (60mm) scale \/ matte finish \/ 1 piece set\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King and Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49613411909860,"sku":"DD400","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/7024\/2788\/files\/DD400_1.jpg?v=1786214957","url":"https:\/\/breagans.com\/products\/ap-advancing-rifleman","provider":"Breagans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
