A total Kiss rifle would have a white light and a front night sight. Optics to make you a much better shooter and once you can afford one get one. But you can be effective without them in most typical short range self defense situations. I did a test on speed and accuracy of various optics vs irons and at ranges less than 25 yards the difference is nill. Most leo patrol rifle shooters occur at less than 25 yards. So basically a KISS rifle does not need to have an optic. They are nice and will help you shoot better exponentially as range increases. But like I said before you can do ok without them at the ranges you are mostly likely to need them in real life.
