Was the K98 the standard weapon of the Wehrmacht?

A buddy repeatedly claims in our Whatsapp Fortniten PUPG and BFV group, that the K98 was the standard weapon of the Wehrmacht and that was also used as a sniper rifle, right?

The carbine K98k (short,) was.

And clearly there was a sniper version with even different ZFs.

And for the mountain hunters there was a short version G 33/40.

So with k in the end?

Of course - from the K98 the K98k and the 1935 became the standard weapon.

So now I'm confused, at the top of the source is that the K98 is Polish.

And in the books, the sniper versions are explained

Such are rare and expensive

Was the order of success

Rifle 98 (G98)

Carabiner 98 (K98 in the WKI)

Carabiner 98a (according to WKI

Carabiner 98b

From 1935 then carbine 98k (short) as standard weapon Wehrmacht. Who else should have led the 14 million built otherwise?

Who else should have led the 14 million built otherwise?

Of course, about 4 million of> 32 million Poles then (and a few donkeys), the books claim that would have allegedly only 264,000 Karabinek wz. 1929 and 44,000 Kb wz. 98a produced, but in real the 8 million rifles stole, which then led to the 1939 raid. "Need to know" - Axel Stoll

Of course, the k stands for Kurwa.

Of course a rifle in each hand, and unlike the amateurs in the Wild West, each one-handed repeated (with turn and throw up). The Germans only won, because the ammunition was produced late by bureaucracy, so the poles quickly ran out of ammunition. I learned that in Call of Duty, so that's for sure.

My uncle, ex-Navy Seal with experience in gorilla warfare and over 300 confirmed killings as a Space Shuttle Doorgunner in the Marine Corps back then in 'Nam and high-level Secret Service contacts, confirms that. The files are of course top secret, too dangerous to share here, so you have to believe me.

Unfortunately, I did not come up with more nonsense.

So, now serious again: Thanks for the links, very interesting.

Since I do not have a book on it, is it true what Ian, the other video writers, and I have collected in the following?

(evolution of the carbine 98k, from pre-war model to war model)

To the sniper variants (on the German side in the 2nd WW):

In WK1 were still 15,000 G98 produced with different optics and mounts and donated by hunters rifles and ZFs.

(allegedly there was something better on the British side at the end of the First World War:

From 1927, new ones were procured, but with "Zielvier" from Zeiss and "Berliner Montage". Were all models of the Reichswehr in WK2 reused? Selected Kar98k were equipped from 1938 with an IF.

(here a model from 1939 during the test):

Due to bottlenecks in 1942 hunting ZFs were drafted again.

Supposedly 5.300 of the Swede mauser m / 1986 with German AJACK 4 × m / 41 ZF in the 2nd WK had been the most precise (until 1942, the ZF deliveries were stopped because of bottlenecks), although finally not needed for use:

At that time, of course, the ZFs were a lot more sensitive than today's and accuracy in production and shot image lower.

I would have to pick more exact data, but that's just too much for me at the moment. Into the second wk in addition to the official Fs also Schwenkmontagen were used, which were probably nothing else than those used by Jagern. Should not have been different in the 1st WK, there was also a lot of G98 in use.

The system itself is still unsurpassed except for minimal changes and is also used hunting (albeit with a different caliber and shaft.

But that's just too much for me at the moment

I can understand, should also have duties, necessities (acquisition, administration, food intake) and various hobbies.

I have time, if necessary I have to read it myself.

unsurpassed

In simplicity of operation and instruction? Durability? Ease of care? Value for money? Etc.

although used with other caliber and shank

I was recently surprised at the stand for how many even the cheap Mauser M18 is offered

Think precision and robustness (maybe safety) could be a few better in today's systems, but I'm not sure.

What are your favorite systems, models, for whatever reason?

Yes, both are correct.

Are there sources and other evidence?

I have a 1942 K98k, but because of my illness on my hands I can hardly shoot it any longer.

That's why I switched more and more to the small-caliber versions because it's less painful. Sooner or later, I'll have to sell the 8x57IS.

But with such parts I still have pain-free fun on the track.

And is "almost" the feeling of big.

I would have liked to see the source. Should be determined by 1935 as what is the standard weapon of the Wehrmacht.

But you already know that the carbine 98 and carbine 98k are not the same rifle?

Au. I'm sorry
