Because Natty wanted to see your answers. Now we don't care shit about historical accuracy, we want to know which one of these rifles is MORE FUN to play with. Tell us also why the gun is better.

Edit: do you care if enemy gets semi-auto rifle and you get only bolt action?

I would have to say... the K98. In Africa. Nothing is more fun that scoring long distance kill in the desert. Defending or attacking, explosions everywhere, dust flying.. knowing that every shot must count.

G/K43 is a nice weapon and all but.. it just can't beat the K98 experience. I also prefer the Enfields over the M1 Garand.

Edit: It's always nicer to kill a semi-auto wielding enemy with a bolt action rifle ;D

I have to admit, the K98 has the better ironsight.  G43 has the worst ironsight in the whole mod for me.

Hmm...tough one, but i'm going to have to go with K98. Simply because you can mount a bayonet and charge.  :P Also the historic significance of it.

Although I do disagree about the M1, definetely my favorite rifle...

K98 simply because it is a bolt action rifle.

When I play Krauts (that is mostly when I'm forced to by autobalance), I usually go with Kar98k because I like its non-obstructive ironsights, the bolting (it's my most favorite bolt-action rifle) and I just love the looks of it. Is it better than Gewehr 43? I wouldn't say so, with G43 you can for sure pwn much more (and I usually do when I get my hands on one) but I'm willing to take M10 over M4A1(76)W any day just because I like its looks more and I don't care about its open turret... it only makes the gaming more challenging, which I quite enjoy. Call me weird if you'd like :P


PS: M1 Garand pwns everything ;)

No, because then both sides use different tactics and the game becomes more challenging.

no. Semi auto makes you somekind more nervous aiming, with k98 you take your time, make one shot that kills, not 5 that goes to nowhere.

K98. Allthough I´m better with the G43 the K98 is just more fun to use.

This! Gew43 makes me do unperfect shots while I could have hit it with the Kar98k because there I didn't want to risk taking another shot, as cocking it takes time. Losing time = dying.

K98 has a higher accurate rate of fire. LOL THe G43 turns into a AA gun first shot.
Don't hate the forum, hate it's users...

but with garand I make 10 perfect shots ^^.I dont know G43 sights are sooo strange- and the recoil feels so different eventhough it has the same recoil as the garand IIRC

Difficult to choose, I like them both. Nothing beats the K98 over long range, but with G43 you can sometimes get 5-7 kill streaks in very short time. Sights are good on both, maybe a bit obstructive on G43. Harder to spot silhouettes in the fog range. Still way better sights than Garand.
