The General Liu rifle is a semi-automatic rifle named after its inventor and the first Superintendent of Hanyang Arsenal, General Liu Qing En (1869–1929),[1] as the rifle never received any other designation. It was probably the first Chinese semi-automatic rifle. The rifle used a muzzle "gas-trap" system similar to the Bang rifle[3][4] (other rifles including this system were the Gewehr 41 and early production models of M1 Garand). The rifle's method of operation could be switched from gas to straight-pull bolt action by rotating counterclockwise the cylinder located on the muzzle, to revert to gas-operated reloading the cylinder had to be rotated back (clockwise).
The stock had a compartment for cleaning tools.[1]
