How an ArmaLite AR-18 works
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- The AR-18 is a gas-operated, selective-fire rifle chambered for 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition. The AR-18 was designed at ArmaLite in California by Arthur Miller, Eugene Stoner, George Sullivan, and Charles Dorchester in 1963 as an alternative to the AR-15 design, which had just been selected by the U.S. military as the M16. While the AR-18 was never adopted as the standard service rifle of any nation, its production licence was sold to companies in Japan and the United Kingdom, and it is said to have influenced many later weapons such as the British SA80, the Singaporean SAR-80 and SR-88, the American Adaptive Combat Rifle, and the Heckler and Koch G36. Through the Provisional IRA, which was noted for its use of the rifle, the rifle became known as the "widow maker".

Oy blud! That bloke has an 18! Get him lads!
and a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite
The Japanese made their version of this masterpiece, the Howa Type 89, and it accepts STANAG magazines.
The AR-18 also might have influenced the H&K G36 and SA80.
It absolutely influenced both of these=
@@sawyernorthrop4078 no "might" about it
not influenced, it is both of them
it provided most of their design elements
Chào đồng chí :)))
I remember that assault rifle from The Terminator (1984). That rifle has no stock, and 40-round magazines taped together in a jungle-style sort of way. The T-800 uses it (one-handedly) on the police station attack.
Fun fact this was used in the Terminator 1984 movie!
yeah it’s a awesome gun
And it was modified to be full auto
@@Sampletext2509 Canonically anyways since realistically no one even in California was gonna sell a full auto AR-18.
Behind the scenes wise, the film crew definitely used an AR-18 and not a converted AR-180.
Only because they weren't able to acquire plasma rifle :) .
The last thing a Brit sees.

Oh I’ve got a brand new shiny helmet and a pair of kinky boots
EIREEE!
GET OUT OF OUR LAND, GET OUT OF IRELAND, Up The Celts, amen
@@notoriousdragon2213It’s too late for that now.
I never understood why this wasn't favored over the AR-15. The direct impingement system in the 15's makes cleaning an all too common occurrence.
I don't now why either but my guess is the cost maybe is less with the ar15 becuz there is no piston? and it requires one more spring perhaps idk
From what I've read, it was purely due to circumstance. The ar-15 was already commercially successful, so I guess nobody had the ambition to re-outfit the existing infrastructure for ar-18 production. We basically got shafted out of a superior rifle for shitty reasons. The benefits of the gas impingement system don't justify how often the rifle needs cleaned, in my opinion.
But didn't the AR16/AR18 designs eventually lead to the inception of the ACR?
Во Вьетнаме АR-18 пригодилась бы гораздо больше чем M-16.
Потому что на AR-18 компания Кольт имела бы гораздо меньше прибыли чем на AR-15.

Great work! thank you very much for your videos!
The rifle was also commonly called either "me little armalite" or "my little armalite" by the Irish Republican Army (IRA)
They nicknamed it widowmaker. Armalite is the actual company who made it
@Eammon Wright yeah I know, it's down along the fall road blah blah up the RA, but either way, calling it an armalite is wrong, because armalite made a lot of guns, not just ar18s, which are bad ass( I have a 180)
@Eammon Wright I also have a decommissioned rpg7, it was $900 on gunbroker lol but eh, it's not as easy as my ar15 is, but it's not hard. As for accuracy, it works as well as my ar15 does, and the folding stock is a brilliant touch.
@Eammon Wright I've named mine the "de Thatcher ing machine"
@Eammon Wright I prefer the m4 carbine. It was issued to me when i was 17, and i fell in love with it. The ar180 has more of a history type feel to it, but the m4 will always be my favorite. I dont want no girl next door, I just want my m4!
AR-18: I'm already Widowmaker
Very cool, only complaint is it was hard to see how exactly the auto sear was tripped by the bolt.
Are you trying to figure out if the brn180 upper is compatible with a m16/m4/ full auto ar15 lower
@@brendanakers7294 totally different fire control group and FA actuation on the AR-18 vs M16. The autosear on an M16 is in the lower, next to the FCG. On an AR-18, it is actually attached to the upper. Since the BRN is a hybrid, it would likely work on a registered full auto lower since the the auto function is self contained.
Terminator 1 made this My all time favorite mg
Sotis175 it’s a battle rifle
@@SMD234WG It's not. Being fully automatic and chambered for an intermediate rifle caliber, the AR18 would be an assault rifle. Battle rifles typically are chambered for full-power rifle rounds like .308 winchester, 30-06 springfield, etc.
not much of a success in itself, but nearly every other battle rifle made uses its bolt and gas system...besides the ar15/m16/m4 variants...
Just a little FYI the ar platform is not a “battle rifle” that would be considered a rifle chambered in a full power cartridge such as 308. A 556 is an intermediate carriage so a m4 would be considered a infantry rifle. Sorry couldn’t help myself
Oh thanks for this video
Hope you can unload the video more
Great animation 👍
It would be much easier to watch the detail without the rifle moving back with the recoil though.
Brownells BRN-180
You know whatd be absolutely great? Is if a Canadian company (of all things) would resurrect (in lisence) in it's original form, the AR18, in all its be-etiful cold war era gloriousness! 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧💪👍⚔️🛡️☘️
referencing the british on a video about an armalite ar 18 is pretty ironic
Thats dope
Too bad that U.S. government didn't know anything about its advantage until now.
AR-15 is much better.
Other than the short stroke, what's the other difference than AR 15

*flips to safe*
*FIRES FULL AUTO*
did george jennings make this
A better system than AR 15. Reliable and cleaner platform. HK also switch from delayed blowback to short stroke gas system in term of reliability and simplicity. In term of accuracy this system much more accurate than long stroke gas system of ak 47.
What a crazy looking hammer
Recently BRN-180
RIP Andy Gill.
The mechanism is different from AR-15 and made by different technology (by stamping mostly). But generally it so much reminds AR-15.
Awsome job, Thanks !
Thanks, ill be using this. 😁
Man, I wish this gun is here in my country. Thing seems easy and cheap to copy. Ghost guns in this model would be more effective due to the simplicity compared to the shitty M16 and AK47 ghost copies I find on local gun runners.
Во Вьетнаме АR-18 пригодилась бы гораздо больше чем M-16.
Is excess gas allowed to escape via a forward vent?
Gun very good
Ar 18 is like AM AMR 4 for the MGS5
And how the hell is this thing cheaper than AR-15 ?
etozevol4ok
Stamping rather than milling.
Ar 15 badboy
Better than M-16
yes!
Better than the M16 but not better than the M16A1. There.
It's different from the M16, not necessarily overall better. Both have strengths and weaknesses.
Rr mười tám cho nước vào bùn kẹt đạn nữa ko
Cái tên giống pít tông AK hết kẹt đạn khối vào kim hoá
Hết đạn đánh vỏ ko gãy súng
Ar. Mười tám bằng akko kẹt đạn hơn bắn sa
Otimo muito simples o funcionamento da de faze em casa😈😀✌
Pois é, do jeito que está pra comprar armas kkk
the recoil effect is insufferable as well as the gunshot sound effect.
ทุกอย่างผ่านหมดยกเว้นพานท้ายนะ
NO BUFFER-SPRING ?!?!?! WTF !
😂
The folding stock is nice actually.
this video is bad. should have slowed it down and gotten a good look at the mechanisms. you just fire it full speed a million times while moving around.

It’s like the AR version of a VZ 58. Just ew. It’s still no where near as ugly as a VZ 58 though.
Take a close look at first, the gun fires when the trigger is released no depressed. FYI, there are no guns on Earth with that trigger mech
Look up what a binary trigger is
