Both full and semi-auto versions were produced until 1984 when American Arms International, the parent company declared bankruptcy.
Interesting enough the laser sighting system the 180 was equipped with, supposedly was the first commercially available firearm mounted laser.
I shot one at a training school a few years back. You could actually cut a hole in a brick wall in short order with that gun.
I had heard that they were deployed in prison yards with the laser feature. If there was trouble in the yard, a guard could "light up" the trouble maker, and that would usually put a stop to it.

1) Salesmen used to take pieces of telephone to demonstrations, and cut them in half with one long burst.
2) In a bank robbery, in Florida I believe, the perpetrators drove past an officer armed with a shotgun, but were stopped cold by an officer with an AM-180. Supposedly both were struck by 40 or 50 rounds.
Again, I am dusting off some pretty old recollections here, not claiming the stories are true. But I remember the gun well; reminded me a bit of a Lewis with the top mounted drum.
