The Karabiner 98k, or Kar 98k, was the standard-issue bolt-action rifle of the German Wehrmacht during World War II. Adopted in 1935, it was a shortened and improved version of the earlier Gewehr 98, designed to be more maneuverable while retaining the renowned accuracy and reliability of Mauser rifles.Chambered for the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge, the Kar 98k featured a 5-round internal magazine and a robust bolt-action mechanism. Its effective range was approximately 500 meters with iron sights and up to 1,000 meters when equipped with a telescopic sight. Over 14 million units were produced between 1935 and 1945, manufactured not only by Mauser but also by various other factories across Germany and occupied territories.The Kar 98k saw extensive service on all fronts of World War II, from the Eastern Front to North Africa. Despite the emergence of semi-automatic rifles, the Kar 98k remained in widespread use due to its durability and the logistical challenges of rearming. Its design also influenced numerous post-war rifles and remains a symbol of German military engineering.
