Nah... If it were realistic, it'd play out something like this:

Two countries go to war over very difficult terrain (think Siachen glacier). One of them has recently made major technological breakthroughs in locomotion and control mechanisms and manage to secretly field large numbers of mecha (and they even have swords!) while their enemies can only field infantry units backed up by a smattering of tracked vehicles. Of course, the infantry are much more effective militarily, so they completely stomp the mecha.

It's hard to tell, especially without knowing how big the targets were. But it was probably at least 3-4km.

Oh course you can; you'd end up making your enemy laugh too hard to shoot straight - after he puts a couple of bullets in you! By the way, did that genius explain why nobody trains police officers in katanas instead of firearms?
