The bayonet thrust capability has been replaced by the ability to aim down the iron sights, which give a slight zoom. A single shot to the head or upper torso will kill an enemy, but on the move accuracy was drastically reduced meaning it's best to sit still when firing. The base weapon for the Rifleman class, the Kar98k in Day of Defeat: Source stays along similar lanes as the old one. Kar98k in Day of Defeat: SourceDay of Defeat: Source The bayonet on the rifle is always a one-hit-kill, so it's wise to use when sneaking upon a stationary player (such as a sniper or Machine Gunner), or in close quarters if needed. The weapon also makes a very loud and distinct sound, making you a target of an opportune player. Its quite slow to reload, so it should be reloaded whenever not in combat. Some precautions, however, should be taken. The Kar98k also has near perfect accuracy, including on the move, which makes this rifle exceptionally good on the move. There were also ZF42, Zeiss Zielsechs 6x and other telescopic sights by various manufacturers like the Ajack 4x, Hensoldt Dialytan 4x and Kahles Heliavier 4x with similar features employed on Karabiner 98k sniper rifles.Īvailable to the Grenadier class, the Kar98k is well known for its one-hit-kills to almost every body part. The German Zeiss Zielvier 4x (ZF39) telescopic sight had bullet drop compensation in 50 m increments for ranges from 100 m up to 800 m or in some variations from 100 m up to 1000 m. Karabiner 98k sniper rifles had an effective range up to 800 meters (875 yards) when used by a skilled sniper. The rifle grenade propelling cartridges fired a wooden projectile through the barrel to the rifle grenade that upon impact automatically primed the rifle grenade.įor snipers, Karabiner 98k rifles selected for being exceptionally accurate during factory tests, were fitted with a telescopic sight as sniper rifles. For these differing tasks several specialized grenades with accompanying special propelling cartridges were developed for the 1,450,113 produced Schießbecher rifle grenade launchers. The rifle grenade launcher could be used against infantry, fortifications and light armored vehicles up to a range of 280 m (306 yd). The 30 mm Schießbecher cup-type rifle grenade launcher could be mounted on any Karabiner 98k and was intended to replace all previous rifle grenade launcher models. In 1942 an attachable rifle grenade launcher called the "Gewehrgranatengerät" or "Schießbecher" (shooting cup) was introduced that was developed based on rifle grenade launcher models designed during World War I. Just like its predecessor, the rifle was noted for its reliability, good accuracy and an effective range of up to 500 meters (547 yards) with iron sights. Since the Karabiner 98k rifle was shorter than the earlier Karabiner 98b from which it was derived (the 98b was a carbine in name only, being identical in length to the Gewehr 98 long rifle), it was given the designation Karabiner 98 Kurz, meaning "Carbine 98 Short" in German. It was derived from earlier rifles, namely the Karabiner 98b, which in turn had been developed from the Gewehr 98. It could be loaded with five rounds of 7.92x57mm IS ammunition from a stripper clip, loaded into an internal magazine. The Karabiner 98K (Carbine of 1898, short) was a controlled-feed bolt-action rifle based on the Mauser M 98 system. 2.2 Kar98k in Day of Defeat: Source Day of Defeat: Source.Also included is a strip clip, which can be changed into a single bullet, and has skins included aswell within it. This model is an enhanced Day of Defeat: Source Kar98k, fully poseable, and also supports 2 HD skins made by Sabre and 105th Infantry, with a bodygroupable scope included. The Karabiner 98k therefore continues to appear in conflicts across the world as they are taken out of storage during times of strife." -Wikipedia Millions were captured by the Soviets at the conclusion of World War II and were widely distributed as military aid. Although supplemented by semi- and fully automatic rifles during World War II, it remained the primary German service rifle until the end of the war in 1945. It was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser military rifles. "The Karabiner 98 kurz often abbreviated Kar98k or K98k and often incorrectly referred to as a 'K98' (which was a Polish carbine), is a bolt-action rifle chambered for the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge that was adopted on 21 June 1935 as the standard service rifle by the German Wehrmacht.
