I love ACOGs, think that they are one of the greatest advancements in infantry rifles in the past 50 years, however, for SD purposes in the civilian world, I'd never use one. For anything under 25 yards I don't use sights at all, especially while doing MOUT. A good red dot with no magnification, like an EOtech or Aimpoint should fit the bill for you. Just my opinion of course.

I also don't like lasers for CQB, because I'm not going to move around with one activated, and even with a pressure switch, things are moving too quickly to worry about where the dot is, it really is more instinct and muscle memory (Once again, this is my opinion, and I have training with laser systems, as well as training and real world MOUT experience).

For rounds, I'm not sure what the go to 5.56 for HD round is today, but I'm sure if you search around some you can find it.
