So anyway, whenever my grandpa came back from his campaign in WWII, he brought back a Mauser .22 rifle, it looks exactly like the K98. About a half-century later, I stumble upon it as a small boy and questioned him about it because I had realized that it was an old gun of some sort. he tells me that the Germans gave the kids those guns for them to master disassembling and reassembling it at a fast rate, getting them ready for battle when they came of age (I am assuming that they called these pint-size future warriors the Hitler Youth, but maybe I could be confusing them with a completely different group of kids). A few years later while looking around on the internet about it, I had heard that the little .22s were training rifles for the snipers to use.....so I was just wondering what the actual use of it was....
