Good news and bad news for AR-18 fans: One, some small companies still make them. Bad news, the only ones that are made in large enough numbers are made by Vulcan Arms. Vulcan's track record is not so stellar from what I hear. They also reuse parts from FAL kits for them too, so it looks weird as hell. I can't remember the other small shops that make them. | Good news and bad news for AR-18 fans: One, some small companies still make them.

As for mounting a grenade launcher, I'm not sure. I wrote a story at one point where one of the characters uses a AR-18 with a GP-30 mounted, but that's just creative license.

Here's the thing. I read several articles all of which had less than glowing reviews of this weapon. Aesthetically pleasing or not the receiver cracking "problem" was not easily overcome and, as one article mentioned, the AR-18s wound up collecting dust in several arms rooms of various SWAT teams. --[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 14:37, 1 April 2012 (CDT) | |||

The best AR18 close ups are HERE!
- I really want one of these rifles.-S&Wshooter 04:44, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
Sadly, the AR-180s are no longer made by Armalite as of 2009. They still sell parts on their website but no full rifles. I guess they didn't sell well. It's a shame though, they were very competitive with the Kel-tec and the Mini-14. They did have a cracking problem on the aluminum recievers though from what I hear. Hughjefender.
One of the most aesthetically pleasing rifles out there, shame they stopped making them :( --Chrausis 21:25, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Can AR-18s accept M203 grenade launcher attachments like the M16 & M4A1?
