History
The Kar 98K was introduced by 1935, as a new generation service rifle, which was derived from weapons like the Karabiner 98b and even the Standardmodell of 1924, which in turn were derived from the older Gewehr 98. It was adopted via it's reliability, safety and effectiveness in long range. It served the Third Reich until the end of World War 2.

Usage In Hellsing
Following the fall of the Third Reich, the Kar 98K would still serve the German people years later, mostly as a ceremonial rifle, however other nations and peoples have found use for it. It is also standard by those of the Letzte Bataillon and Millennium Organization. It's mostly seen in the hands of Waffen-SS troops, who also mostly use the MP40, as well as weapons like the STG-44.
