Well (terve kaveri ) The Mauser is good for more long-range than the Garand, because you can't kill a guy with Garand by shootin dang-dang-dang-dang, you must shoot one bullet in a time.Then you have the chances, because if you shoot once with the KAR98, the enemy has only 20 or lesser health left.0 if yoou shoot in the head. If I remember right, when you shoot ppl to head with Garand they might not get killed (not sure?) but anyway, when it comes to close combat, Garand wins usually, of course if you hit before Garand does with the KAR98 you get a good edge.They have both their good and bad sides.But I say that if I have to make a choose, I would make a go with the Garand.Out.
