ok:
The K43 is the same thing as the G43. G43 is the less correct way of saying it, and G43 became more common from video games. K43 was the first name for the rifle. I do believe that you are not acquainted with the site known as 4chan. I have come to learn that most bolt-action rifles can be referred to as Mausers as well.
Wikipedia is someplace i do not stray to, because Wikipedia can be edited by anyone who knows how to point, click, and type, and is quite unreliable for most information. Bolt-action has more power due to the amount of force applied on each bullet and the range of the rifleman/sniper from his target. How do you think that sniper rifles are so powerful? Bolt-action refers to the loading mechanism, but also applies as a general name to the entire branch of rifle.
And if you have to say that the reader should not interpret the post as rude, it's just better to not say it at all, or post everything in a different context.
Fun debate, though. You know your way around a rifle.

Gewehr 43 is the correct and most common term for the rifle; a bit of research on my part revealed that the term Karabiner 43 (or K43, for short) was a mere variant produced from 1944 that was indentical to the Gewehr 43 save for stamping on its side. Also, like K43, G43 is an abbrevation of Gewehr 43. As a sidenote, gewehr means rifle or weapon in German, and karabiner means carbine. Russian446 wrote:I have come to learn that most bolt-action rifles can be referred to as Mausers as well. This is an incorrect usage of the term Mauser; Mauser is a company, not a rifle type.

I use Wikipedia as my main reference site, and find its information to be quite reliable, comparing it with other sources. For your benefit, however, I compared the weights of the aforementioned rifles listed on Wikipedia with the ones listed in a book I own ( Infantry Weapons of WWII). They all matched closely, the largest difference being that in my book the Garand and SVT-40 were said to weigh three onces more than what Wikipedia put their weights at. Russian446 wrote: Bolt-action has more power due to the amount of force applied on each bullet and the range of the rifleman/sniper from his target. I personally own a Mosin-Nagant, so I know for a fact that bolt-action only ejects spent cartridges and loads new bullets into the barrel. However, the bolt-action does close the chamber of the barrel unlike any semi-automatic weapon, making the explosion more powerful and the bullet more potent. Still, I stand by what I said earlier: the Garand, in particular, is a semi-automatic weapon as or more powerful than either the Karabiner 98k or Mosin-Nagant, due to its particuarly potent bullet. As for the range away from the target 'increasing the power' of bolt-action rifles, the further away from the target, the less powerful the bullet is. This is because of the increased resistance the bullet encounters when traveling over longer distances. I am not saying anything else, I've already strayed this thread too far off-topic. Back to the topic of the Karabiner 98k as a BrickArms weapon.

I'll leave everyone's posts alone for now, but I reserve the right to edit the thread at any time, so don't be surprised if some surgical editing (or wholesale deletion) occurs in the posts that have strayed off topic.

i think the k98 should be scoped. more slots would be open in the mold and all that you need to take off the scope is an xacto, scisors,or even a pocket knife

It would ruin the overall sculp, it would just not look good..

It would ruin the overall sculp, it would just not look good.. Well, for instance, Will cuts off the scope on the non-tactical M47, so Will could mold a scoped Kar 98k as a base and cut off the scope on some, like he does with the M47 and M23.

I think the 98k would make a great adddition to the Brickarms line.
I might make it home from this lousy war- [explodes]

I think that both variants of the K98 warrant being placed in the newest mold, or even the next mold after that. I prefer WWII brickarms, and don't really mind if a Sci-fi gun gets bumped off to make room for a scope. plus a G43 (0r K43) would be a nice addition too.

Since BA already carries the Thompson and MP40 and will soon carry the M1 Garand, it only makes sense to carry the primary rifle of the German army. If Will chooses to make the PPSH41, I'd hope to see the Russian rifle (I forget its name) too. Edit: sorry for the minor topic diversion. Just seemed thematically relevant is all.

As for scope, and unscoped, the Mauser 98K should be unscoped. IF Will choses to make the Springfield Rifle, the Springfield can work both ways. Note that the Springfield is a genuine Mauser 98 copy. It's operation, and designs are exactly the same. Just a few minor cosmetic changes. However, IF Will wants to make a scoped version of the Mauser 98K, we could just cut the scope off. Yet, not all of us have exacto knives.

Please try to word your posts less . . . . authoritavely in the future. If Will does decide to make a Karabiner 98k, it would most likely be scoped, as the scope can easily be clipped off for a clean version. *Disclaimer that none of the above is currently being developed by Will*

Sorry about that, couldn't find a way word the sentence correctly. *EDITED the above quotation* Well, I guess that would make more mold space. Who knows what the future will hold. Modification is the way to go?

Should Will decided to revisit that type of item in the future, I don't think it's that far out of the realm of possibility that an Kar98k (likely the sniper version of that item as it would then be a perfect Springfield sniper weapon) would make an appearance. badger

I'm Dan Rather and I approve this message.
Oops, sorry.
I'm Sir Norman Ray and I support this weapon. Simply put, my German soldiers look stupid with TLC rifles hacked away to make them look thinner. A proper, decent Bosch rifle is needed to fight of the Imperial Tommy and Democratic Yankee's. Jahwol mein herr! Du bist ein berliner!
Plus, as I understand it, there is a market for this gun in the way of hunters. Just another point I'd bring up.
The Lee Enfield was the only bolt action rifle NOT to be replaced by a semi automatic rifle as its rate of fire was deemed high enough. Truely, us British do things the hard way.

I agree since the m1 garand and the lee-einfield I think that the interest of world at war items has grown (just take a look at me I ordered 10 lee's and another 9 m1 garands). Furthermore I think the Karbine 98k would be a very good new BA weapon, since that was probably the most common weapon when you see ww2 germans they, most of the times, are carrying a karbine 98k. So I fully support this weapon. Henk
