It's actually called Kar98k and not K98k, because the Great K alone stands in the Wehrmacht for Kanone (Canon), The Problem had the MKB 42, firstly it was called MP 42 but duo to the Caliber it was renamed to Karabiner 42 and make the mistake to use K42, so they renamed it again to Maschinenkarabiner 42, firstly as MK42 and than MKB42.

What’s the purpose of sliding the thumb forward to the bullet tip?

[@HistoryinFirearms]

When putting this video together, I thought it was interesting that the manual was specific on that. Then, while filming, I did notice that when pushing the rear of the cartridge down, the tip can get stuck up. Sliding the thumb forward fixes that.
