The type 38 should not be as week as it is. There is no reason it's not as powerful as the K98k. I like running these with iron sights and it's night and day the power of this vs the k98k. I have had so many shots that should have been a one hit with the Type 38. It's unfortunate because I like the Type 38 because I own one and it's fun shooting guns you own in game. I own a k98k as well so that's good at least.
