Poor performance on the Norwegian Krag-Jorgensen rifle used by U.S. troops in the Spanish-American War made the search for weapons designers more standard infantry weapon. They "borrow" the German rifle, 7mm Mauser, add a few modifications, and create a bermagasin rifle, which is a phenomenal increase accuracy. 1903 quickly gained a reputation as the firearms are accurate and robust - the war in the woods Belleau in 1918, U.S. Marines armed with Springfield 1903 cut off an enemy counterattack from a distance of 700-800 yards. The rifle continued to be used in World War II, Korean War, even as a sniper rifle in the Vietnam war.
