'''Murata Rifle''' is a little known Japanese Bolt-Action Rifle. This is the first modern Japanese long firearm (before it, Japan produced only [[Tanegashima]] arquebus).

But several Murata rifles still used during the Russo-Japanese War and even during the World War I.

Rare Murata commercial shotgun. This is not a converted military rifle but manufactured for sporting purposes. This uses its own rimmed cartridge, a shortened version of the 8mm Murata round.

The Murata Rifle is an early Japanese bolt-action rifle, named after its inventor, Major Murata Tsuneyoshi. This is the first modern Japanese locally produced long firearm (before it, Japan only produced the Tanegashima arquebus). It's also the first indigenous Japanese rifle. Murata rifles were used by the Japanese Imperial Army during the First Sino-Japanese War, and the Boxer Rebellion. After 1898, Murata rifles were replaced by the more advanced Arisaka Rifle, but saw limited use during the Russo-Japanese War and World War I.

After WWI, many rifles were converted to shotguns and sold on the civilian market (similar to what happened with old rifles in Russia and Germany). Due to its obscurity, the Murata rifle will most likely appear in old or historical Japanese movies, TV shows, or anime.
