Bolt Action WWII US Army Weapons Teams Figures Model Kit

Infantry weapons teams play a crucial role in any Bolt Action army, offering valuable tactical flexibility. Among these teams, anti-tank and flamethrower units are particularly prominent, posing multiple challenges for adversaries. American doctrines emphasized tasks such as scouting and sniping. Snipers were specifically trained to target enemy officers with precision, aiming to weaken the morale of opposing troops. Armed with a M1903 bolt-action Springfield rifle equipped with a telescopic sight, snipers also carried pistols and shotguns for close-quarters combat defense. The spotter and sniper roles within the team were interchangeable, showcasing their versatile training.

Mortars emerged as a common choice for support weapons, with paratroopers and Rangers typically deploying one mortar per platoon. Positioned strategically in rear areas, mortars provided essential cover for the platoon. The standard 60mm light mortar boasted superior range and firepower compared to smaller varieties used by other nations, although its weight (19kg) necessitated a larger team for transport. Flamethrowers saw widespread use during the war, particularly in the Pacific theater for clearing tunnels and bunkers. In the Normandy landings, an increase in flamethrowers enabled troops to breach fortified enemy lines effectively.
