He's talking future weapons, not contemporary. Take into consideration
the
evolution of the tank. When it was first fielded, shooting while moving
accuracy was pretty dismal. Nowadays, shooting while moving is pretty
realistic. Who's to say in 50-100 years hence infantrymen won't have the
same or similar technological capabilities? We're not trying to model
combat
in 2020 here (well, okay, maybe some are :-D ).
