The Wänzl or Wänzel rifle was a breechloading conversion of the Lorenz M1854 and M1862 rifles.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire used the Wänzel as their service rifle until they had enough Werndl-Holub M1867 rifles to arm the military.

[2][3] The rifle was a lifting block breechloader chambered for the 14×33mmRF cartridge.

The Austrians converted a total of 70,000 Lorenz muskets to Wänzels.
