In 1885 [[Ferdinand Mannlicher]] made an experimental self-loader based on work begun in 1883 in both semi-automatic and fully automatic modes. It was an impractical failure due to fouling by its black powder ammunition, but it influenced later designs. Furthermore, Mannlicher produced smokeless powder automatic rifles from the early 1890s onwards until his death in 1904.<ref>{{citation |first=Ian |last=McCollum |title=Mannlicher 1885 Semiauto Rifle |url=https://www.forgottenweapons.com/mannlicher-1885-semiauto-rifle/ |website=[[Forgotten Weapons]]|date=6 May 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The 1885 Assault Rifle {{!}} WeaponsMan |url=https://billstclair.com/weaponsman.com/index.html?p=37471 |access-date=2023-06-20 |website=billstclair.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SJaPbfRhdfoC&q=Mannlicher+Smokeless+Automatic+1891&pg=PA7-IA7|title=The Engineer|year=1893}}</ref>
