Replica of the Mauser 98K carbine, made of metal and wood, with simulated loading and firing mechanism, functional bolt, and leather sling. The Karabiner 98k (Kar98k), developed by the Mauser company in 1935, became the standard rifle of the German army during World War II. Derived from the legendary Gewehr 98, it was known for its rugged design, high accuracy, and bolt-action system that allowed for fast and reliable shooting. The Kar98k was equipped with an internal five-round magazine and was versatile enough for both close-quarters combat, with a bayonet attached, and long-range precision shooting using a telescopic sight. Its leather sling made it easier to carry and more comfortable to use on the battlefield. Used by German forces on all fronts of the war, the Kar98k became a symbol of the German soldier and left a lasting mark on military history. Its accuracy and reliability made it a favorite even among snipers, who often paired it with scopes for long-range targets. The Kar98k has had a notable presence in war cinema. In Enemy at the Gates (2001), set during the Battle of Stalingrad, it is the primary weapon of German sniper Major König, played by Ed Harris. It also appears in Saving Private Ryan (1998), used by German soldiers during intense combat scenes. In the world of video games, the Kar98k is one of the most iconic weapons featured in series such as Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and Battlefield, where its accuracy makes it a favorite among players seeking realism and effectiveness.
