Krag-Jorgensen M1894

## Overview

The Krag-Jørgensen m/1894 is a Norwegian bolt-action, repeating rifle adopted as the standard issue of the Norwegian Army from 1894 until 1945 when it was replaced by various other automatic rifles such as the Heckler & Koch M416, Colt Canada M8, and AG-3.

The Krag-Jørgensen m/1894 was a very unique rifle, during its time. It featured an opening on the right side of the receiver where single cartridges are inserted. The Krag-Jørgensen m/1894 does not use stripper clips.

Multiple other variants of the Krag-Jørgensen were made by several other countries. Examples include the US M1892 rifle, Danish Rifle 1889, and the Norwegian M1904 carbine.

### In-game

In-game, the Krag-Jørgensen m/1894 is the first rifle obtained by new players playing as the Kingdom of Norway. It is available in the Rifleman class and has a magazine size of 6 (20 in reserve, without ammo pouches).

## Tactics

* The Krag-Jørgensen is a bolt-action rifle, giving it a low rate of fire. And making it ineffective for close-ranged combat.
* It is recommended to equip your class with an ammo pouch, adding an extra 20 ammunition in reserve.
* Because the Krag-Jørgensen doesn't accept stripper clips, make sure you are behind cover or a safe spot while reloading.
* Make sure you have a secondary firearm with you, in case you run out of ammo.
* It is not encouraged to use the Krag-Jørgensen while attempting to take a capture point. Instead, use it to support your teammates.
	+ If you still wish to rush a capture point, use the Krag-Jørgensen and after firing a shot, quickly switch to your pistol to finish an enemy soldier.
* Players using the Norwegian Sniper kit have a Krag-Jørgensen m/1894 equipped with an OTO 1.5x scope, giving them an advantage in both long-ranged to medium-ranged combat, as they can change their sights. Try to use this advantage against other players.
* Do not hide in corners with the Krag-Jørgensen because their long barrels can expose a player's position. Especially if they have a bayonet attached to it.

## Trivia

* Interestingly, the reload animation doesn't seem to show the player opening the magazine door to insert the rounds. Instead, the player is shown reloading the rounds through the receiver. This may be a developer oversight.
* The Krag-Jørgensen along with its variants, are the only bolt-action rifles in the mod to not accept stripper clips.
