The Karabiner 98 kurz (that translates to "Carbine 98 short" was introduced into the German army shortly before the start of World War II, to replace the prior standard rifle, which was simply the longer version of this gun. At the end of World War II, it had become pretty useless as a weapon of war. The trend (already begun in World War II) was to go with compact, fully automatic assault rifles in slightly smaller calibers. The K98k was none the less a good, robust weapon that many militaries world wide surplussed quite cheaply. World wide, this shortened rifle became quite popular with sports shooters and hunters.
