Kar98

The Kar98 was the main gun used by the Germans during WW2.

Saints and Soldiers
The Kar98 is seen the most in Saints and Soldiers. It is stolen from the SS Soldier by Deacon, and used for most of the film. Other than that, many Germans are seen with the gun.

Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed
The Kar98 is seen in the Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed trailer at certain points. This makes sense, as it is the main German rifle.

Real Life
The Kar98 was used in both World Wars by the Germans mainly. It is bolt action, so one would need to manually eject spent shells, making automatic rifles better. However, due to the low cost, reliability, and high quantity, many Germans used it. The G43 would later attempt to replace the Kar98, later in the war. Didn't work.

The Kar98 was accurate, so it could be given a scope, making it a sniper rifle. It could also be retrofitted with rifle grenades. The Germans could also attatch bayonets to the gun.
