The General Liu rifle is named after its inventor and the first Superintendent of Hanyang Arsenal – General Qing En Liu (1869-1929) 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 Bang rifle (other rifles including this system were: G41(M) and early production models of M1 Garand).
