The Klappshaft is a folding version of the K98 and thus a BR1 rifle. i would love to either see it in the tech tree or arming an tech tree paratrooper squad. Its by far time that Paratroopers be added to the tech tree. Tech tree could have rifles event could have mg/smgs.
The squad would be a good compliment to the Japanese para-rifle squad already in the game. A five shot bolt action rifle is clearly BR1. It could also be a paratrooper-squad with swapable weapons as everyone has been asking for.

Paratrooper variants
Experimental versions of the Karabiner 98k intended for the German paratroopers that could be transported in shortened modes were produced. The standard Karabiner 98k was too long to be carried in a parachute drop. However, the German paratroopers made only limited combat drops after the 1941 Battle of Crete; there was therefore little need for these rifles. Specimens with folding stocks (Klappschaft) and with detachable barrels (Abnehmbarer Lauf) are known to have been produced at Mauser Oberndorf.[8]
The G40K could work better as RT because it was meant to be a carbine of the Kar for special units just like the Soviets’ M1938 Carbine and Japan’s Type 38 Carbine.
Although the G40K was an experiment and never fulfilled so it could theoretically be a special squad with a unique weapon, like say a premium Riflemen or Engineer squad
The Folding Kar98k was made specifically for Paratroopers so it should be a Para squad
