Point: This is two ounces. Combine this for night use with a good white light. Ultradyne irons are about the same weight as any backup irons. They are said to be quicker and more accurate than other irons. They will certainly shoot accurately at long distance, up to 600 yards. This is the lightest, most flexible, least battery/electric combination I can think of for a KISS rifle. I am going to give this all a try.
I don't know if you are talking about the See All Nite sight or the Ultradyne irons. But here is a guy who would disagree with you about red dots and Ultradyne.

If you are talking about See All Nite Sight at night, that is what they were built for and there is no battery. This is the KISS Rifle thread, isn't it?

So Im supposed to gauge a shooter based on their youtube videos?
A couple of observations;
- I tried one of those chevron front posts with my irons and found I could not be as precise with it as a standard post, much less than a NM (thin) front post. For short range with a handgun, perhaps not an issue.
- Tritium in ACOGs make the FO tube glow in the dark, so I assume that block of polycarbonate glows as well ("aim here" for any adversary)
- I had to take Dramamine after watching the video
Cool concept but I honestly have no interest in that sight. Thanks for posting the link in any case.

Can't argue with that philosophy. As GH41 stated, it's not difficult to assemble a rifle using standard tier-1 components and keep it's final weight around the seven pound mark, even with optics. IMO, it's really a matter of striking the desired compromise between weight, reliability and precision potential.
Take a look below at this "RECCE" I assembled a years ago (when I didn't know any better). It consistently shot just under 1 MOA with preferred loads, but was full-retard overweight: heavy barrel, heavy quad-rail, heavy optic, heavy optic mount and heavy stock. Great for range play but who in their right mind would want to jackass such a .223/5.56 thing around?
To your point, it's easy to end up with a "carbine" that weighs well north of 10 pounds if you're not paying attention;
