One was the limitation of fullbore ammunition production, so to get round this for training purposes the Germans produced a single-shot, 22 rimfire copy of the Mauser Kar 98K service rifle.Ĭalled the Kleinkaliber Wehrsportgewehr (small calibre military and sporting rifle) it was known as the KKW and produced by various manufactures up to 1939, when it was discontinued.
