I would put a scope on it. You can get 1-4x scopes. 3-9x are generally pretty cheap. 3x is pretty quick to aim and 9x gives pretty good range and precision.
Most red dots have no magnification. The benefit of a red dot over iron sights is that you don't have to look straight on. You can move your head all around and as long as you can see the dot, the bullet is going toward whatever you see behind the dot. This is good if you are moving around or are shooting from awkward positions like on your back or behind cover. Also, in low light, the dot is easy to see. Most red dots are also colocated (I think that is the word) so that if your red dot fails, you can use your iron sights while looking through the red dot.
Yep. But I am by no means an expert or even a veteran. If I were fighting in an open sand pit in the mid east, I would probably want some magnification, but I imagine most engagements are in cities. Off brand red dots are cheap. Get one and give it a try.
