The [b]Mauser Model Karabiner 98 Kurz[/b], [b]Mauser 98 Karabinier[/b], [b]Kar98k[/b] or more better known as the [b]K98k[/b] was [[Germany]]'s main infantry rifle during [[World War II]]. This rifle is a carbine version that replaced the long and cumbersome [b]Gewehr 1898[/b] from [[World War I]] with a short, yet still lethally accurate weapon. The internal magazine held five 7.92x57mm rounds. The Model 1898 and K98k (as well as Belgian and Czech copies, which picked up the slack in the 1920s when the German arms industry was severely restricted) were both exported to many countries worldwide and have fought in many wars after World War II. Use this tag for the Model 1898 or the carbine. Updated by bot Sun, Sep 18 '22, 02:56 |
