Imagine auto-killing robots on the battlefield. In gamers terms: aimbots and wallhackers with unlimited guns and enormous HP

I imagined this: Computers are fast. No doubt these robots will have IR cameras. Light travels fast. What if an opposing soldier shot at a robot?

A bullet's speed is about 1500 m/s or so, for a fast one. From a 20m distance, that leaves about 13ms for the robot to:
1) do some calculating
2) either fire a bullet that will exactly cross paths with the bullet aimed at it or prepare for a short, concentrated electromagentic pulse that will severely slow the bullet down as it hits the robot, reducing or eliminating damage
3) at the same time, shoot the gunner in the brains.

Might seem like a difficult task to do, but it really isn't and remember, this is the military. They can do anything, they have heaps of R&D money.

So if these killer robots would be deployed, even if only for exploration with self defense or something, soldiers would become useless pretty quickly and would just have to drive the robots around like RC cars.

And once that happens, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a robot fight, with no humans involved in the actual combat. And guess what. That's when China wins the next world war.

Thoughts?
