Yet it's possible to hide rather well as long as you don't move. In fact movement is still extremely helpful for detection, especially when camouflage or when radar is being used.
And you cannot move 24/7 anyway, especially not as infantry.

Firefights (direct fire) produce lots of fragments - 40mm, rifle grenades, hand grenades, recoilless weapons, spalling cover. Anti-frag is not only indirect fires.
Light infantry depends on its leg mobility - a perforated leg is a real problem on patrol or when attempting to break contact.
