VIDEO: Armalite AR-16

This video gives an overview of the history of the AR-16 and also does a field strip you can see how it works. It is another .308 rifle, like the AR-10 before it, but with changes due to Armalite having sold the rights to the direct impingement system used in the AR-10 and AR-15, and to make the weapon easier and less expensive for non-industrialized countries to produce. Just as the AR-10 was shrunk to become the AR-15, the AR-16 was shrunk to become the AR-18.
