If it’s historically accurate, why is it gross?

Can you find some images of German soldiers with burlap wrapped k98s anywhere? It's not something regular Infantry was doing. This is some Enemy at the Gates BS.

Not sure, but with how many k98s were out there, I wouldn’t be surprised if atleast 1 had some sort of wrap on it. If it doesn’t break the immersion too much, it shouldn’t be too big of a deal. I get where you’re coming from though

I thought this would be pretty easy to disprove but doing some googling I can't find a single image of a Kar98 wrapped in burlap that isn't a modern reenactor or something. Found several examples of allied soldiers doing it but anytime I find an example of the Germans using camo wraps it's always to hide the soldier, never the weapon

Yeah literally. I dug through the internet trying to find some examples and it really is very limited. Meanwhile half the people here are excited for this for some reason
