[PAR] [TLE] Karabiner 98k [SEP] The Karabiner 98 kurz (] ; "carbine 98 short", often abbreviated Kar98k or K98k) is a bolt-action rifle chambered for the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge that was adopted on 21 June 1935 as the standard service rifle by the German "Wehrmacht".  It was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser military rifles.  Although supplemented by semi- and fully automatic rifles during World War II, it remained the primary German service rifle until the end of the war in 1945.  Millions were captured by the Soviets at the conclusion of World War II and were widely distributed as military aid.  The Karabiner 98k therefore continues to appear in conflicts across the world as they are taken out of storage during times of strife. [PAR] [TLE] Chiang Kai-shek rifle [SEP] The Type Zhongzheng rifle (中正式), also known as the "Chiang Kai-shek/Jiang Jieshi Rifle", "Generalissimo Rifle", and "Type 24" (二四式) after the Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, was a Chinese-made copy of the German Mauser M1924, the forerunner of the Karabiner 98k.  Pre-production of the Chiang Kai-shek rifle started in August 1935 (year 24 of the Republican calendar, hence the Type 24).  It was later renamed the Type Zhongzheng and was in full-scale production as early as late 1935.  It was designated the Type 79 by the Chinese Communists and would often have the ideograph of Chiang defaced by them.  Although the Hanyang 88 rifle was produced in greater numbers than the Type Zhongzheng, the full standardization of the Type Zhongzheng rifle only started during the Second Sino-Japanese war.
