[5] [6] Another early design for a recoil-operated semi-automatic rifle is attributed to Ferdinand Mannlicher, who unveiled his design in 1885, building on earlier work from 1883. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Several of his early models, including the Mannlicher Model 85, 91, 93, and 95, used non-gas-operated mechanisms. [ 10 ]
The Model 85 would have fit the same tactical role as the American BAR or British Bren of World War II fame. The Model 91 semi-automatic rifle was designed to use the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge and the Model 88 rifle clip.

The usual recoil system in modern quick-firing guns is the hydro-pneumatic recoil system. In this system, the barrel is mounted on rails on which it can recoil to the rear, and the recoil is taken up by a cylinder which is similar in operation to an automotive gas-charged shock absorber , and is commonly visible as a cylinder mounted parallel ...
