To be honest, other than perhaps looking a little out of place, a CQB-R length barrel is perfectly usable outdoors as well as in. The fps that you're running is more of an indicator of suitability for indoors vs outdoors, since the actual accuracy benefit from a longer barrel is questionable science at best.

In airsoft, aesthetics and reliability are top concern. Pretty much all AEGs shoot similarly, and performance can be improved with a little more cash. If you like the look of the CQB-R, I'd recommend that over a longer gun that you're less enthused about any day.

Hell, even outdoors, thick brush or occasional cover can make a long rifle like an M16 a pain in the ass to move around.
