The M1912 is a type of military rifle that was developed in the early 20th century. It was designed to be a reliable and effective weapon for soldiers, featuring a bolt-action mechanism. The rifle was primarily used by the United States military during World War I and the early years of World War II. This rifle is notable for its use of the .30-06 Springfield cartridge, which provided good accuracy and range. The M1912 was part of a series of firearms that included other models like the M1903 Springfield and the M1 Garand, contributing to the evolution of military rifles during that era.
