K98 Mauser is a type of rifle. Gewehr is the Army
Answer
No. The Mauser 98 is the standard bolt-action rifle. It held 5 rounds in a box magazine.
The Gewehr was a semi-automatic rifle. The G43 (or KAR43) resembled a rifle that had a 10-round box magazine that protruded below the stock. The G41 was very similar.
The 44 (Sturmgewehr 44) was an assault rifle that is very similar to the Russian AK-47. It had a 30-round clip that fired 600 rounds per minute.
Also, the German Army was called the Wehrmacht.

Actually gewehr is the German word for rifle. A K98 is a gewehr. But when most hear the word gewehr, they do think of the G43, gewehr being a part of its designation.

Yes, it's very easy. You need a special tool called ring pliers. They expand outward as you close them. Using this tool (available at any Home Depot for les than 20 bucks, get a good one) you can pry open the hood just enough to get it into the slot on the front sight. Good luck!
