AR-18 AR-180
The [b]AR-18[/b] is a gas-operated 5.56×45mm [b][[assault rifle]][/b], designed at ArmaLite in [[California]] by Arthur Miller, Eugene Stoner, George Sullivan, and Charles Dorchester in 1963. Featuring a lightweight stamped metal lower receiver and a [[folding stock]], it was intended as a lower-cost alternative to the [[AR-15]], which had just been selected by the [[united states|U.S.]] [[military]] as the [[M16]]. 

Despite the AR-18 was never adopted as the standard service rifle of any nation, its design is said to have influence on many later [[weapon]]s such as the American [[Adaptive Combat Rifle]], the [[united kingdom|British]] [[L85]], the [[japan|Japanese]] [[howa type 89]] and the German [[h&k G36|G36]].
