The Mauser 98k is deadly in the right hands. It's only called lame 'cos it doesn't work when you run in with it blindly looking for frags, rather than using it tactically and keeping distance from your targets, or using the scenery to your advantage.

Soon as I upgrade my PC and manage to get higher than 15 fps in a fight I'll be using this weapon a lot as Axis.

Mauser/pistol-finisher combo is deadly.

Owning an M1 Garand and having fired the German Mauser, I can say that the eight round semiautomatic Garand is *much* preferred and a much speedier weapon to fire. Bolt action (Mauser) vs semiauto (Garand) is usually a no win situation.
I love my Garand. :-)

By the way, the .30'06 Garand's round and the 7.62mm Mauser round are both equally deadly. Heck, when a bullet is travelling at 2800 feet per second, the thing it hits will be damaged quite severely. And yes, the '06 is a larger round - but not by much.
If you're qualified, you can buy your own M1 Garand for $500.00 from the CMP. Check it out if you're interested: http://www.odcmp.com

Its all about how you use the weapons, some you have to go full out to be effective, others you need to use in burst or single fire.

too bad they didnt include the fallschirmspringergewehr fg42. thats the coolest ww2 weapon in my opinion. but i dont know an allied weapon that could even it out if it was included.

Bayonets would be great! Playing a COOP game last night and my buddy was running into a building just a German soldier was coming in. The German "butted" him right in the nose with his Mauser and dropped him to his knees. I laughed so hard that I got shot in the process by the same German!

OOPS...didn't thnik that 1st post went through.

Bayonets would be nice! Playing COOP last night, my bud ran straight into a German soldier coming through the doorway. The Kraut "butted" him smack in the nose with his Mauser and dropped him to his knees! I laughed so hard that I got shot in the process.

I think we are getting confused between 'were the weapons better in real life' and 'are the weapons better in MoH.'

It would be nice, maybe not realistic, for the Axis to have a weapon comparable to the Garand.
