The CQBR features a {{convert|10.3|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} length [[Gun barrel|barrel]] (similar to the [[CAR-15|Colt Commando]] short-barreled M16 variants of the past) which makes the weapon significantly more compact, thus making it easier to use in, and around, vehicles and in tight, confined spaces. The overall length of the upper receiver is {{convert|19.25|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}. With the stock collapsed, the overall length of the weapon is {{convert|26.75|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}. Those created as complete rifles (rather than only upper receivers) are type designated as '''Mk 18 MOD 0/1'''. [[Special forces]] units utilize the CQBR for scenarios such as [[Executive protection|VIP protection]], [[urban warfare]], and other [[Close Quarters Battle|close quarters battle]] (CQB) situations. Its former preliminary [[National Stock Number]] (NSN) had been 1005-LL-L99-5996. A complete CQBR-equipped carbine now has the NSN 1005-01-527-2288.
