v9.8.0 - Springfield Update

Say hello to the Springfield M1903A1a long awaited addition to our bolt action rifle roster!
Despite being phased out during World War II in favor of M1 Garand, this rifle saw an extensive use in Pacific, African, and European theaters, as some of the U.S. front-line troops retained the M1903 and continued to use it alongside the M1 Garand. In the game it will be available in all U.S. Combat Engineer kits, and as a part of the rifleman's loadout for the U.S. Army Rangers (Hill 400, Pointe du Hoc, and other maps).

BONUS: New Kar98k variant

Can you spot the difference? As a little something extra, we have a surprise for our nit-picky sharpshootersan optional variant of a Kar98k rifle without a front sight hood. If you choose to go for this option, it should allow for a better visibility, but might make the sights harder to acquire. Let us know which one you prefer!
