Also, a good loader is very important for maintaining your rate of fire; mechanical autoloaders give you a rate of fire of about 1 round every 4-5 seconds, or about 12 RPM; the average trained human loader will give you one round every 4 seconds (15 RPM), and McMaster (guy in Lowe Gear's quoted interview above) swore his loader could do one round every 3 seconds, he was just that good.
Btw: McMaster commanded Eagle Troop (mixed force of Abrams and Bradleys) in action against several battalions of Iraqi forces in the Gulf War, at the Battle of 73 Easting. It was one of the most lopsided defeats in history, as Eagle Troop utterly curbstomped the Iraqis (though not without a few Bradleys lost to enemy fire).
