Weapon Background
The AR-18 is a gas-operated select-fire rifle originally designed by American arms company ArmaLite. It was created to be a lower-cost alternative to the earlier AR-15 design, and is said to have influenced many later weapon designs still in military service today.[1]
The AR-18 was created as a result of the US military's testing and adoption of the AR-15 rifle as the M16. During the protracted military trials of the AR-15, ArmaLite's corporate owners Fairchild essentially gave up on the design, and sold the AR-15 production rights to Colt. Fairchild also spun off ArmaLite into an independent company, and allowed the new owners to buy the rights for all of the company's designs except for the AR-10 and AR-15. When the U.S. military ultimately selected the AR-15 and adopted it as the M16, ArmaLite could no longer profit from its adoption. This created the need at the company for a new design that could generate revenue for the company. The U.S. military's adoption of the AR-15 had given legitimacy to the 5.56mm intermediate cartridge, so ArmaLite sought to develop a competing design chambered in 5.56mm that did not infringe on the Colt license agreement. They looked through the catalogue of designs they owned the rights to, and found promise in the AR-16 design.
The AR-16, a 7.62mm NATO select-fire rifle, was Eugene Stoner's final design for ArmaLite prior to his leaving in 1961, shortly before Fairchild divested itself of ownership. The AR-16 and its predecessor, the AR-12, were designed by Stoner in response to demands by the military forces of smaller, less-developed nations for a less expensive, yet still modern select-fire military rifle that, unlike the more complex AR-10 and AR-15, could be cheaply produced from heavy-gauge sheet metal using automatic screw machines, lathes, and presses. The AR-12 originally featured a direct-impingement (DI) gas operation system like that found on the AR-15, but this was changed to a short-stroke gas piston system in the AR-16 after ArmaLite sold the rights to the DI system to Colt. ArmaLite opted to use the AR-16 design as a base for their new rifle, and ArmaLite's new chief designer, Arthur Miller, embarked on the project. The resulting design appeared in 1963, and was named the AR-18.
