Odd looking kar98k

So I’ve found this colourised photo of a German soldier. Seems to be mid-late Second World War eastern front. (Sorry for bad quality). Looking at his rifle that’s lying in the haystack, the tip of the rifle seems to be very short. After the barrel band for the sling the rifle seems to be missing the second band or the H band and looks oddly short.

Now it’s either the perspective of the photo, or the rest of the barrel hidden in the haystacks.
Unsure about the rest hidden because it doesn’t seem like the rest is hidden.

Let me know what you guys think.

Weapons ID?

I know the image quality isn't the best, but can anyone help me identify the weapons in these photos? I'd really appreciate any information about the models, calibers, or accessories. Thanks!

Spanish police seized an arsenal of weapons in Vigo after it was discovered by two people cleaning an old house. The weapons had apparently been collected by a relative who was a military officer and died 27 years before. The cache includes two Bergmann–Bayard pistols and other old weapons

Where there ever any attempts to make a pump action rifle? And if they where, why where they not successful compared to bolt actions?

Seems like the pump action is more suited to rapid shots (since you don't have to loose your grip on either your firing or support hand to cycle the action) and it only takes a simple linkage and cam setup to turn a bolt action into a pump action (essentially just a straight pull bolt action with a linkage to bring the handle up to the handguard).

And in regard to there being no popular pump action rifles in military service: Did militaries just consider that added complexity not worth the firing advantages, or are there other factors beyond that?

(EDIT) a better way to formulate the point i was curious about: "why are non self loading shotguns usually pump action, while rifles are usually bolt action?"
