Sixteen Pounds All Up

An XM7, loaded with 20 rounds with suppressor and XM157 optic is 16.1 lb.

3.8 kg for the bare rifle.  8.38 lb.

0.64 kg for the loaded magazine.  1.41 lb.

0.66 kg for the suppressor.  1.46 lb.

2.2 kg for the optic.  4.85 lb.

Unglaublich!

Still lighter than a WW2 M1918A2 BAR!

Yaay?  I guess.

The aggravating thing, to me, is that the base rifle only has a 13" barrel but is somehow not any lighter than a Cold War ear "battle rifle™" with a full 21" tube.
