The Gewehr 98, (often shortened down to G98 or M98) is the standard German (Central Powers in this case) rifle in WWI: Source. In real life, the Gewehr 98 bolt-action rifle was first manufactured by the German Mauser arms-company. As the name of the rifle suggests, the model was first produced in 1898 and was made to replace the older Gewehr 88. The Gewehr 98 was put out of service in 1935, and was replaced with the newer Karabiner 98 Kurz or just K98k, which would see action in WWII. Both the g98 and kar98k chamber a 7.92x57mm round.

The Gewehr 98 in WWI: Source

The G98 in WW1:Source in comparison to the British SMLE Enfield has a smaller magazine with 5 rounds per clip, but it comes with 5 more clips then the British Enfield.

For beginners

With a small magazine size of 5 bullet per load, it is a harder rifle to use for beginners. It requires the player to be more cautious and take care of and make use of what little ammo they have in their magazines and take out their enemy before having to reload. For you to hit your target with the ironsights, it is recommended to place it at the top tip of the ironsight-pin at the front of the rifle and just a small milimeter to the left.
