I agree, the CQT gets the job done, but is pretty far down my list of choices. For a variety of ranges and environments, the ACOG would be my preference.
As I was reminded earlier today, it is not so much the equipment, but the man in the fight.
An uneducated peasant with nothing but a well-worn AK and three spare mags in a chest pouch who has lived in the same 10 mile radius his whole life, and has been fighting for the past 30 years can be an extremely difficult opponent.
The gear can help compensate a bit, and for those few who are really good, it can be the difference between life and death.
Think about it.
