I generally know how much the bullets weigh, but I don't know how much the belt-links typically weigh for the following weapons

12.7mm (BMG)
20mm (20x110)
37mm
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

Keep in mind I've never fired a 50 calibur, certainly not a 20mm or 37mm weapon and do not own such ammo :blink:

Wuzak,

Never thought to look there but this does seem useful!

I just have one question with the 37mm cannon used on the P-39: Was the beltless feed system factored into the gun weight?  Or considered a separate device?
