Naam: Gewehr 43 Land van herkomst: Duitsland Beschikbaar voor: Duitsers Het kaliber: 7.92 x 57mm
Mauser Magazijn capaciteit: 10 kogels Schieten: Semi-automatic,
gas-operated (Half-automatisch, gas-opererend)
Gewicht: 4.33kg
Historische achtergrond
Armed with bolt-action Kar98k rifles
and the fearsome MG34 and MG42, the
German
army had little need for semi-automatic
rifles, and as such the concept did
not
attract much interest. In 1941, two
famed designers, Walther and Mauser,
submitted separate designs for self-loading
rifle, designated the Gewehr 41(W)
and Gewehr 41(M) respectively. Both
were quite similar in appearance and
operation, and featured a propietary
"Bang-type" gas piston system,
which ended
up causing immense trouble in operation.
As a result, the weapon was
unsuccessful.
In 1943, the G-41 was combined with
the successful gas system used in
the
Soviet SVT-40, resulting in a highly
workable weapon and designated as
the
Gewehr 43. In 1944, the G43 was redesignated
as the Karabiner 43, although no
changes were made to the weapon itself.
The G43 was often issued as a specialist
sharpshooter weapon, and could
accomodate an optical sight. However,
as with many other German weapons
manufactured late in the war, the
finish was rough and quality was lacklustre,
and there are reports of malfunctions
and even magazines falling out.

If the Garand was improved in COD2,
the Gewehr 43 and the Russian SVT-40
have
received massive overhauls. The
G-43 model looks thinner and more
like the
carbine it actually is, and handles
similarly to the American M1 Carbine.
The
weapon's power has been increased
to almost the same level as the
Garand. One
headshot can kill, while a torso
shot requires 2-3 hits to take down
a target.
The iron sights have been changed
from UO's oblong hood and block
pin to an
elliptical hood and larger, sharper
pin, making aiming much easier with
pinpoint precision. The G-43 has
very little recoil, and like the
Garand can
place numerous shots into the same
target very quickly and accurately.
As it is practically as accurate
as the Kar98k, some players may
prefer the G-
43 over the Kar98k due to its semi-automatic
capability and larger magazine
size, allowing for a faster kill
rate than the bolt-action rifle.
On a side-note, the G-43 has probably
one of the smoothest reload animations
in
the game, which incidentally removes
the unsynchronised reload glitch
in CODUO.
Also, reload times are now consistent
regardless of ammunition, whereas
in
CODUO the G-43 reloaded faster from
an empty magazine
Naam: Mauser Karabiner 1898 Kurz Land van herkomst: Duitsland Beschikbaar voor: Duitsers Het kaliber: 7.92 x 57mm
Mauser Magazijn capaciteit: 5 kogels
Firing mechanism: Bolt-action Gewicht: 3.92kg
Historische achtergrond
A household name in arms production,
Mauser's success began with the
German
adoption of a Mauser rifle in 1871,
which eventually culminated in the
Gewehr
98. The Gewehr 98 proved to be the
most powerful yet safest bolt-action
rifle
of its time, and was used for civilian
purposes such as sport. One of its
features was the inclusion of a
fully internal magazine, which held
5 rounds
and was contained perfectly in the
wooden furniture, making it comfortable
to
sling. This later proved to be quite
restrictive due to the low amount
of
ammunition, but was welcome nonetheless.
The Gewehr 98 was also manufactured
from the finest materials with precision
gunmaking techniques, setting it
apart
from other weapons of its kind.
It was during this time that military
enthusiasts did away with the separate
long rifles and carbines and used
a
medium-length rifle for all units.
This led to the shorter Karabiner
98 model,
and it was gradually refined to
the standard-issue Kar98k model.
Due to its
exceptional accuracy, many Kar98k's
were issued with scopes as a standard
sniper's weapon.
The Kar98k's power and accuracy
came from the locking mechanism.
It consisted
of three locking lugs: two at the
front of the bolt and one at the
rear,
giving maximum power. The catch
was that the bolt-action was somewhat
awkward,
requiring a 90 degree rotation utilising
the firer's right arm. Due to this
action, the Kar98k could not match
the fast rate of fire of the Lee-Enfield,
which only required the use of the
firer's wrist. Despite this, the
Kar98k
proved to be extremely reliable
and remained the standard infantry
weapon of
the German army, especially with
the shortage of Stg44's.

Call of Duty 2 notes
----------------------
Despite its learning curve, the
Kar98k was one of the most popular
weapons in
COD1 due to its power and ease of
snap-shooting. The Kar98k hasn't
changed much
in COD2, still being a powerful
rifle that is pinpoint accurate
and can kill in
one hit to the head or torso.
The main change is its iron sights.
Rather than the open sights of COD1,
COD2's
sights use the hooded model, which
has an elliptical ring around the
front pin.
While some COD1 veterans may be
put off by this change, the weapon
handles
exactly the same as the COD1 version,
and the hooded sight reduces the
learning
curve encountered by new players.
As with all bolt-action rifles,
the Kar98k has a slow rate of fire,
and the 5-
round clip can be emptied unknowingly
after sustained fire. The weapon
is fast
to reload, however, and can be topped
up at anytime with another 5-round
charger.
