The AR-18 is a gas operated selective fire assault rifle chambered for 5.56x45mm ammunition. The AR-18 was designed at ArmaLite in California by Arthur Miller George Sullivan and Charles Dorchester in 1963 as an improved alternative to the AR-15 design which had just been selected by the U.S. military as the M16.
