I have a book and seen this, but found nothing on the internet about it, and someone here was asking about a CETME pistol so I thought I would post this, taken directly from: Military Small Arms of the 20th Century by Ian V. Hogg, John S. Weeks A good book, and one I think anyone should have that is interested in military small arms.

"Firing Port Weapon Model R, Empresa Nacional 'Santa Barbara' Mandrid
7.62x51mm NATO
The Model R is a highly modified variant of the earlier Model C rifle, designed to be fired from the interior of armored personnel carriers and similar vehicles equipped with a ball-mount firing port. The weapon uses the same roller-locked delayed blowback system of operation but has no butt, a short barrel with large flash hider, and a special locking collar at the front of the receiver which secures the weapon into the vehicle firing port. Due to the positioning of the weapon in this mounting, the usual forward cocking handle cannot be used, and a modified MG42 handle is fitted to the side of the weapon. No sights are fitted, aiming taking place via the vision blocks above the firing ports, and tracer ammunition being used to give visual indication of the strike of shots. The weapon fires at full-automatic only.
Length: 26.16"
Weight: 14lbs 1oz
Barrel: 12" 4 grooves right hand twist
Magazine: 20-round detachable box.
Cyclic rate: 550 rds/min
Muzzle velocity: 2264 fps"
