Behind the scenes

 * The name of this rifle is probably a reference to a backwater part of the country. That is, an isolated and backward place, and it can be reasonably said that Point Lookout is a backwater region.
 * The name may also come from a Chinese phrase "Bei4 Sui3 Yi2 Zhan4"( back, water, one, battle ). The meaning is "engaging your enemy with a great river in your back". Some Chinese Strategists believe this condition makes the soldier braver because they has little chance to flee and still survive.
