AR-18
The AR-18 is an assault rifle which fires 5.56 mm NATO ammunition. Designed by George Sullivan, Arthur Miller and Charles Dorchester at ArmaLite in the early 1960s as a low-cost alternative to their own AR-15, their interest in the design waned when the AR-15 was selected for production by the US Army as the M16. Small numbers were later produced as the AR-180 for the civilian market between 1969 and 1972, and several licensed versions of this model were also produced. Interestingly the basic mechanism of the AR-18 has proved to be far more popular than that of the AR-15, and has been used as the basis for many modern designs.
