The ArmaLite AR-18, designed by Arthur Miller after Eugene Stoner's departure from Armalite, represented a significant design shift. It prioritized cost-effectiveness and robustness over the lightweight focus of Stoner's earlier AR-10 and AR-15. Key features include a direct impingement system with the bolt running on two rails, a straight-line stock to reduce muzzle rise, and a simple dovetail plate for optics. While not adopted by the US military, its design influenced subsequent firearms like the Steyr AUG.
