If you're in literal close quarters combat, you don't need a red dot, you need point-shooting skill. Not mentioning the fact that the overwhelming majority of American houses are made with wood and paper and can simply be shot through. This isn't including the fact that in cases of a night assault/ambush on a personal domicile, for all intents and purposes you've already lost. Additionally in the United States, 'defensive usage' of firearms occurs as deterrent against petty crime and not against the State. Lastly, you're revealing your lack of understanding of rifle optics by not comprehending what ive said altogether and giving a muddling exposition that confuses medium-range rifle optics with long-range rifle optics.
wish granted
The standardized rifleman optic used by darn near all militaries is some variant of medium range rifle scope, respectively being the Russian 1P86-1 and the American TA31RCO, something that can be both used in close engagements within 100m and further engagements past 300m. Training to use them gives an individual a more wider range of possible actions they can take in both conducting quick-reaction point-and-shoot drills and precise marksmanship as needed by the situation. With regards to practicality of use, it's superior to red dots because it allows for greater engagement distance which in turn allows the user to engage in distant ambush tactics and have both ample distance and time to withdraw from the area to avoid reprisal, which is overwhelmingly the most common and most practical form of asymmetric warfare that irregular forces engage in when faced with numerically and technologically superior forces. Red dot sights can only be calibrated to one set distance and can at best mildly hinder the user's combat capabilities if engaging in a varied distance firefight, red dot sights are fundamentally trapped in their niche specialization and encouraging to train exclusively in them is to trap yourself in a 100m box in the greater world of light infantry firefights. And falling back to my initial point, Iron sights usage is excellent training for gaining understanding of distance, learning visual range-finding, learning rifle zeroing calibration for engaging targets at varying distances, and ultimately as a weapon sight of last resort.
I know its not a magnified scope, thats my whole point
No they're not. if you can't comprehend how to use and sight in irons for basic marksmanship you'll be struggling to hit a tree in the middle of a forest with an actual scope you have to dial in. The most important principle of firearm use is putting rounds on target accurately and the most important principle of firearm combat is to always engage in favorable conditions.
Still prefer AK platforms.
I don't like ARs because of the apple-on-the-post iron sights they have and the minor ptsd I have of being forced to clean one manually to perfection for an entire night and morning with nothing but my hands, a torn chunk of shirt, and a box of q-tips. The star chamber was the devil's asshole. My pinky fingers have calluses because of it and it was where I spent the majority of the time cleaning.
7dorkassfish doesn't like it because it doesn't have all the snivel gear on it to coddle the firearm owner.
All you fundamentally need to know is how to use and zero in the iron sights and make consistent groupings at 300m from standing, crouching, prone, and after moving around to get winded, then you'll have more solid foundations to build on and be able to run circles around any gunfucker that only "trains" for making vanity tik tok videos
geriatric moderate hitler helped the moderate hitler party halt their pseudo-democratic moderate hitler candidate selection program in favor of undemocratically annointing an even more wildly unpopular and more hated moderate hitler that promised to do everything hitler did but with a smiley face so you could stay at brunch.
your moderate hitler lost to hitler
Your gotcha roll for a "moderate hitler" got you a Klaus Barbie. Congratulations.

Recipie's not vegan but I absolutely adore how he goes about showing how to do the recipe step by step with an affirming thumbs up and generous Hannah Barbara level sound effects to accompany his non-verbal instruction.
Definitely a must-watch!

Signed 'R. Kirichenko', the slogans around Lenin read: 'There is such a party!' (a Lenin quote), 'Socialism', 'The victory of communism is inevitable', 'All power to the Soviets!', 'Peace to the peoples!', 'No to war!' and 'We are internationalists'.

Very new and distinct world that the creator built. Combining the horrors of the first world war with the terror of being an immortal soldier that's constantly cobbled back together then resurrected to fight once more. Give it a watch if you're able to tolerate death, war, and the mildly grotesque.

On December 10, 2025, Rockstar added a long-requested feature to GTA Online, and one that most fans feel is a trial run for an even more detailed rollout in the next iteration of the sandbox: a mission creator. Allowing players to "design and publish" their own missions within GTA Online, creators can set and tweak objectives, characters and mechanics to create their own scenarios, and then share them with the wider playerbase.
An omnipresent hazard with community creation tools is content created in bad taste, and soon enough Rockstar had an absolute all-timer on its hands. One player used the tools to put together a mission called "We are Charlie Kirk", in which players recreate the assassination of the rightwing political commentator and content creator Charlie Kirk. Kirk was making a public appearance at Utah Valley University in September last year when he was shot and killed. His alleged killer is in custody and awaiting trial, with prosecutors intending to seek the death penalty.
To briefly explain the GTA Online mission: the player spawns on a roof overlooking a crowd and a small tent, which approximates the layout seen at Utah Valley University. Walking forward to the edge of the roof, the player will find a sniper rifle. Various sound effects and crowd noises play. The goal of the mission is to then shoot the Charlie Kirk character, which results in a mission success screen and the awarding of some sort of in-game XP.
...
Rockstar has clearly decided it doesn't want any part of this near GTA Online, because it has banned the "We Are Charlie Kirk" mission. Rockstar has also added "Charlie Kirk" to GTA Online's profanity filter, meaning players cannot search for any future content that may be created using his name.
It's unclear exactly when Rockstar removed the map itself. It's also the case that other player-created missions exist that seem to be using variant spellings to get around the ban on Kirk's name. You can use Rockstar's custom jobs site for GTA Online to find these. Searching for "Kirk" served up three missions along similar lines. Searching for "Charlie" serves up another six missions related to the topic.

nice and simple, yeah.
