About the real gun

The Karabiner 98 kurz (often abbreviated to K98k, K98 or Kar98k) was a swivel-action bolt-action rifle, chambered for the 7.92 × 57 mm Mauser bullet, developed and employed by Nazi Germany during World War II. It was the last in a long series of military rifles produced by Mauser. Although semi-automatic and automatic rifles were available, the K98k remained in service throughout the war, and can still be seen today in various conflicts due to the large quantity of war remnants still practically intact.

In the Second World War, virtually all German army units employed the K98k. The rifle therefore served in the vast majority of war theatres: Europe, North Africa, the Soviet Union, Finland and Norway. Although at the beginning of the conflict the weapon was on par with those deployed by Germany's adversaries, its weaknesses became apparent when the United States and Russia took the field with their new semi-automatic rifles (Garand M1 and SVT-40).

Yet, the K98k remained the Wehrmacht's weapon of choice for the duration of the war. Resistance forces in occupied Europe obviously made frequent use of captured K98k. Even the Soviet Union, due to a chronic shortage of equipment, employed large quantities of K98k abandoned by the retreating Germans. The rifle was often called Kars by the Germans.

Today the Bundeswehr still uses K98k for parades and shows involving the army. In 1995, the swastikas still present on the weapons were permanently removed, also following protests from the German Democratic Party over the presence of such stamping.
