What is was Gewehr 43?

The Gewehr 43 (pronounced Ge-vair) was a German semi-automatic rifle developed as a result of the need for a semi-automatic rifle to compete with the Russian SVT-40 and American M-1 Garand. Upon the G41's failure to compete effectivly against the SVT-40 rifle, the Germans took what the Russians did with the SVT-40, the G43 was the new rifle that replaced the G41, it used a similar system that the SVT-40 used, this proved to be better than the Gewehr 41 system, the G43 was more reliable and had a detachable box magazine as opposed to the 2, 10 round stripper clips that the G41 had. However, like the SVT-40, the G43 was very complicated, and didn't perform very well in mud, dirt, and significant changes in temperature, unlike the Russian's better quality (due to the the absense of mass supply shortages that the Germans had to contend with) the G43 was slightly less reliable than the SVT-40, and was too complicated and expensive to mass produce. When put against the American M-1 Garand in Europe, the G43 was a slight improvement over the K98 bolt action, but unlike the Mauser 98k, the G43 wasnt nearly as reliable, or as simple. The Gewehr 43 only had its semi-automatic capability going for it when compared to the Garand rifle. the M-1 was far more reliable even in the worst conditions, better made, better sights, faster clip loading and unloading system, lighter recoil, and was made of the finest quality materials, (since the U.S. was never effected by the wartime conditions and bombings of its factories) it was more simple to mass produce, very easy to mantain, and was general issue to all troops, unlike the Gewehr 43, which was only issued 2 units per company, and those rifles were mostly issued as a specialist's and sniper's rifle, as opposed to being a frontline battle rifle. For every 50 M-1 Garands produced by the allies, the Germans produced 1 Gewehr 43

Weapons used by the axis powers during World War 2?

There is not an exact answer to that question, as it is a debated topic. In my opinion, carriers proved to be decisive as they allowed one to transfer air support to places that were out of reach to planes being launched from land. However, the Nazis developed some pretty crazy things, some of which (namely the V2 missile and the ME 262 jet fighter) were not decisive as they came to late in the war to make much of a difference, but were quantum leaps in warfare and have been decisive to later wars.

What is the difference between a mauser 98 and a k98?

First of all, Mauser made both rifles. The Mauser 98, or Gewehr 98, was a rifle produced by Mauser gun company from 1898 to 1935. The Karabiner 98, or K98, was produced by Mauser company from 1935 to 1945.Similarities: The K98's design is basically an updated Gewehr 98.It shoots the same bullet, which is 8mm Mauser.It has an internal magazine for five bullets, just like the Gewehr 98.They both had the same range, 550 yds.Differences: The Gewehr 98 weighd about 9 lbs, when the K98 weighed about 8 lbs.The Gewehr 98 was about 49.2 inches long, but the K98 was about 43 inches long.The bolt on the Gewehr 98 was straight, while th bolt on the K98 was curved down.The K98 was probably less expensive.I Just want to say a little bit of the history on both guns. The Gewehr 98 was used from 1899 to 1936 in the German army. Gewehr means "gun" in German. It was the standard-issue rifle in World war 1. When the Nazis came to power, they wanted a new rifle to replace the long Gewehr 98's, so they started developing a shorter rifle. They named the new gun the Karabiner 98. Karabiner means "carbine" in German which is another word for a shorter gun. Like I said earlier, the K98 is really a shorter version of a Gewehr 98. In 1935, the K98 entered mass production and the Gewehr 98 production stopped. Although most Gewehr 98's were put into reserve in the next 2 years, the Gewehr 98 remained with police forces and reserve units until around 1938. By time the war started in 1939, all German soldiers had the K98, with the exception of submachine guns machine guns. The K98 was the only rifle used by the German army from 1939 to 1943, until the Germans started issuing Gewehr 43 semi-automatic rifles. Even with this, the K98 was produced until the end of the war in 1945. As the war came to a close, Hitler ordered all men from 16 to 60 to go into the army. Since there were no more guns to be issued, they started taking Gewehr 98's out of the reserves and re-issuing them. These were only used for a few months as the last of the German army was defeated. Because of the K98's great design, many poor countries that had been defeated by the German army took K98's from the defeated enemy and issued them to their own army. Some countries even had left-over factories that made K98's keep building them. Ironically, since the State of Israel was founded in 1947, the Allies gave K98's that were built by Nazis to Israeli army. Most K98's were taken out of service by other countries in the 1950's and 1960's. The K98 is still used for ceremonial purposes in Germany today.
