Murata Rifle is an early Japanese bolt-action rifle, named after its inventor Major Murata Tsuneyoshi. This is the first modern Japanese long firearm (before it, Japan produced only Tanegashima arquebus). It's also the first indigenous Japanese rifle. Murata rifles were used by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Boshin War, First Sino-Japanese War and the Boxer Rebellion. After 1898 Murata rifles were replaced by more advanced Arisaka Rifle, but had limited use during the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. Due to its obscurity, Murata rifle most likely appears in old or historical Japanese movies, TV-series or anime.
