Seems like you missed the part where its mobile. If it gets jammed or the barrel gets too hot you simply turn it around and head back to the nearest soldier. No need to be a doofus and go to its compromised and open position. Not to mention the military is asking for more than one so it makes sense that they use these in groups to ensure that breakdowns wouldn't cause a mission failure.

Put it this way... If you try with the robot and fail you've only lost a chunk of metal. I'm pretty sure that makes the whole ordeal worth while.
