The Hanyang Type 88, or Type Han, was a crucial Chinese bolt-action rifle produced from 1895 to 1944, with nearly 1.1 million units made. Initially based on the German Gewehr 88, it featured modifications like the removal of the barrel jacket and an updated rear sight. It fired the 8mm Mauser cartridge and used a distinctive Mannlicher-style en-bloc clip for its 5-round internal magazine.
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.
