The Armalite AR-16 represents a crucial, yet often overlooked, step in rifle development, bridging the gap between the AR-10 and the AR-18. It pioneered the use of stamped sheet metal receivers and a short-stroke gas piston system to reduce manufacturing costs. Though never mass-produced, its design innovations significantly influenced subsequent combat rifle designs like the L85, Steyr AUG, and G36.

The AR-180, designed by Arthur Miller as a cost-effective stamped-steel alternative to the M16, utilizes a short-stroke piston system. Despite its 'guerrilla warfare' reputation and appearance in pop culture like 'The Terminator,' it failed US military testing due to reliability issues. While a unique collectible, its performance and proprietary parts make it unsuitable as a modern tactical carbine.
