Thanks!

This would prove useful for at least a figurine or two as there simply weren't that many designated marksmen in any given unit. I found it interesting that you mentioned that it did not have to be cocked between shots; well that's why it is referred to as semi-automatic and any similar rifle had the same advantage. I'm thinking the G43, for example which also had the dual advantage of being clip-fed and holding 10 rounds. Kind of useful.

Frank:I mentioned this as not everyone would know about and it and it is listed as one of the first Semi-Automatic rifles to go into general service; British SMLE and German K98 rifle all required that the bolt be operated after each shot and were the standard rifles in use. The Garand also had the benefit that repeated shots could be made without taking your eye off of a target and disturbing your rifle lay as each round was chambered.
