Two Kar98k, what is the difference?

I noticed that there is a Kar98k with 3 stars and a Kar98k with 4 stars on the stock.
What is the difference between these?

First onesare starters from Normandy and SG I think. They are similar to (D) Rifles and should have worse stats.
Edir: Don’t have worse stats.

They have the same stats. At least on their weapon card.

It’s a hang over from the previous campaigns, where the starter rifle differed.

The 3 star ones are starter kars from stalingrad/normandy
Statswise they are totally identical and are cheaper to upgrade compared to their non default versions. (1300 silver vs 1532)

Two Kar98k have twice the firepower of one Kar98k potentially. Bot soldiers sometimes refuse to shoot. The AI may have given them high morals and they get stuck in thought.
