AR-18K
In 1979 the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland along with her Commonwealth was in shock after the IRA assassination of Admiral Of The Fleet Lord Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Of Burma.
Margaret Thatcher, the then PM stated "Our country has suffered a great loss." These words meant the end for those responsible. Thatcher, a friend of Mountbatten knew who exactly to call. As soon as British Intelligence Services got any information it was given to 22 SAS and the Military Reaction Force. A unit that had earned the reputation of "Legalised Death Squad"
Once the information had been passed to the two units plans were put in place, there was to be no trial, no hearings.
These men were to die, and that's what exactly happened
The Regiment and the MRF both opted to use the AR-18 because of its prominent use by the IRA. The idea was that if they were spotted the IRA would assume they were friendly due to the rifle and civilian clothing.
This particular variant of the AR-18 is the K model, designed to be as compact as possible. Due to the fact this was essentially government backed revenge killings there was an unlimited budget, both units used this to outfit the rifles as seen on this variant. Most opted for magnified optics however this rifle is seen with an Aimpoint Electronic, retractable stocks and sound suppressors were also opted for due to the covert nature of these operations.
This actually ended up being quite a fun build.
