You do know Crusader was a horribly flawed concept, right? The gun was fully automated and in the event of a misfeed or other problem, the crew could NOT get access to the gun to correct the problem. In the event of automation failure, the gun could NOT be loaded by humans, even if they had been able to get access.

Automation is good; but no manuals (especially in warfighting equipment) is bad.
My experience was with the Paladin, as my unit was FA. (I wasn't a crew-member though.)
