The current British assault rifle, made by Sterling, is based on the AR-18, which was also made by Sterling. Granted, the bull pup has a lot of improvements over the AR-18, but the lineage is obvious. The biggest improvement of the AR-18 over the AR-15 is the elimination of the direct gas system. The AR-18 uses a gas piston similar to the FN-FAL.
