Hi, I'm a generic armchair gun enthusiast, here to make a complete ass of myself and correct everyone on gun terminology because I'm so conceited
This not a "standard rifle from WWI and WWII from Germany; it is a minor updated model of Germany's previous Gewehr 98 rifle, invented by Paul Mauser, shortened to "carbine" length adopted in 1935 4 years prior to WWII. Official military production of the German K98k in Germany ended in 1945, 10 years after it's adoption, and the action of the 98 rifle would go on to be the world's mostly widely *copied* action with nations the world over having adopted some kind of bolt-action using a Mauser type action in varying calibers. Also, battles rifles and assault rifles are two different terminologies, how dare you conflate them!
