The Model 1922 Bang rifle is a US semi automatic rifle designed by the Danish arms designer Søren Hansen Bang. It was a modification of the earlier Models of 1909 and U.S. .30 caliber Model 1911 Bang rifles both chambered in the .30-06 Springfield round. During field trials in 1919 and 1927 the rifle was demonstrated by designer Søren H. Bang. It was gas operated using a sliding muzzle cup system which was blown forward by the combustion gases while the bullet emerged from the barrel.
