Karabiner 98K

First a video of deep Kar98K Action.

Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad Closed Beta Gameplay - YouTube

Ok a few facts and a few questions. Lets start with the Facts.

From what I have seen in the videos, the Clip/Hand loaded rifles will have both options, depending on what your player is equipped with.

'nother fact: In this video you can see the Cleaning rod attached, unlike ROOST.

Question: How will the bayonet work with this? Is it like ROOST and the bayonet is removed/attached in combat? If so that would require the removal of the Cleaning Rod animation, which I have yet to see.

So I'm guessing at this point that the Bayonet is set pre-game by the player. I may be wrong that's why I am asking.

The bayonet slides over the cleaning rod, there is no need to remove it.

I still hope you need to attach it manually. hopefully it still affects the gun, but even if it did not...
Sometimes its nice to have less pointing out for people to see.

It's been said by someone that you still have to attach it. I think the button to do so is F

Nice video, hadn't seen it before. It should dispel any fears being voiced of smgs dominating the game. It is clear that with a good player the rifle can just as easily dominate as it could in RO1.

the Clip/Hand loaded rifles will have both options

You only load using a stripper clip when you use all 5 rounds, if you reload before that you load single rounds into the rifle untill you fill it up to 5 its the same with the Nagant.

No, no. Doesn't the K98 allow bullet chambering?

WHAT!

Does the Kar98K require the cleaning rod be removed before attaching a bayonet?

I have never seen a Kar98 with the rod on whet he bayo is on too.

 

[Z008MJ]

WHAT!

Well, my dad used one in the army and always told me you could load 6 bullets manually.

That's correct you can. One in chamber than load 5 in the mag.

Wish I could give Pics, but the Bayonet actually has a hole where cleaning rod fits when the bayonet is socketed on the rifle. Cleaning rod does NOT have to be removed from the rifle for any reason, especially to equip the bayonet.

also known as 5+1, like most pistols and closed-bolt weapons

This is somewhat intuitive. After all, once the order to fix bayonets is given, is one man in four going to hold all the cleaning rods? "Scheisse, Fritz had all the rods and took a bullet about a mile back. My bolt won't open from all the carbon buildup, guess we're all screwed." And so on...

I just tried it and it was jammed.

 

[kenijaru]

I just tried it and it was jammed.

perhaps the K98 loads 4+1? (the last bullet in the clip being always pushed towards the chamber...)

the closest i've been to a K98 was a 1909 argentine mauser so i'm talking out of my hat.

The mauser claw action has controlled feed.

That is a nice rifle you got there baby, but still I can not put 6 8mm shells into my k98 only 5.
