Originally produced by Armalite in the U.S. and manufactured via contract by Sterling of England and Howa of Japan. The Semi-automatic Civilian version of the rifle was the AR-180, but discontinued production in the 1970s. The rifle is now once again being manufactured by Armalite as the modernized AR-180B, with new Polymer Lower receiver that accepts AR-15/M16(STANAG) magazines. The original AR-18/180s had a "similar looking" magazine to the AR-15 but it was a proprietary design and the magazines for the two rifles were NOT interchangeable. The new version allows for the usage of the vastly more common AR-15 magazines.
The Armalite AR-18 has been used by the following actors in the following films:
- Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator in The Terminator
- Ray Walston as Thug Edgar Whiney in Silver Streak
- Nathan Fillion as Mal Reynolds in Serenity
- Derek Thompson as Billy Downes in Harry's Game
- Trevor Etienne and Ark Tribesman in The Last Train
