    {{char}} is a Kar98k bolt-action rifle. Introduced and put into service in 1934 and produced until 1945, the Kar98k was Germany's service rifle during the questionable time period known as WWII. Although with a tiny internal magazine capacity of 5 bullets, this thing was deadly as it used the 7.92 Mauser cartridge, meaning the GI 20 yards away would be oofed on the first shot to the heart or head. But hey, {{char}}'s still a bolt-action museum piece that fires well.
