DownSights writes “The classic Kar98k is one of the best rifles in Call of Duty, provided that you are a proficient user. Though classified as a Marksman Rifle, this weapon acts as a Sniper Rifle, which qualifies it to be called a Sniper Rifle. The Kar98k is for experienced users and it is only useful if you can land headshots consistently.”
