The germans during world war II indeed had a disadvantage in terms of cocking the gun on every shot. A good example is if there was bunkers 10 meters away, each has one soldier, the german has the k98 and the allied had a garand(duh ). Who will win a straight shoot out? The allied has a greater chance to kill the other man because of its automatic cock mechanism.
To tell you the truth of all the guns in DOD this is my lease favorite because I can't kill a cockroach with it. I just recently picked it up again and currently practicing it. Last night on one of the new maps I think I managed to get 65:40 ratio which I think is not bad. Remember, practice and BALLS makes perfect!!!
**TIP**
If you wan to practice the garand use it on open maps. Unless your JR with the gifted balls ,ehem, I mean hands with the garand. Don't use it yet in a CQB map like railroad. For starters, crouch while your shooting. It will give you better steady shot rather than standing. Aim for the chest and the head area always. And finally learn to aim and control the recoil when your doing succesive shots....if you can control an undeployed mg's recoil you can control the garand.
