I originally became interested in the XM177E2 because of GURPS: SEAL's in Vietnam.
The weight listed for the XM177E2 in the GURPS book is 6 pounds loaded with a 20 rounder.
Sabrina weighs 6.8 lb.
This bothered me a great deal since I was very careful to be as authentic as legally possible; and if anything a semi-auto should be heavier than the real thing because the area for the auto-sear is not milled out. But there's not a pound of aluminum to be milled away from the whole receiver.
Edit: the non NFA flash-hider should also be heavier than the real thing because it's missing the chambers from the sound-reducer baffles.
Well...
According to my copy of POMM 9-1005-294-14/1 (page 1-3); the official weight of a Submachine Gun 5.56-MM, XM177E2 is 6.8 pounds!
Happy Dance.
