The General Liu rifle was a significant early attempt at a Chinese indigenous semi-automatic military rifle, designed by General T.E. Liu and manufactured with tooling from Pratt & Whitney. It featured a unique Bang-style gas trap system and could also function as a straight-pull bolt action. Despite its innovative design, the project stalled due to General Liu's stroke and WWI delays, leaving the rifle extremely rare today.
