How many POUNDS of guns do you own?

[MeekandMild]

OK, this is a new dimension of an old question. How many POUNDS of guns do you own? So you own so few that you can carry them around in your pocket or would you need a tractor-trailer rig to carry them to the woods when TSHTF or TEOTWAWKI?

As for me I don't have a clue. Several folks have already told me that, but not on this particular subject.

 

[MarineTech]

Many.



And many many many pounds of ammo and accessories.


Assuming I could find a way to actually attach all the firearms to me, I could carry them all around at 1 time. I'm not going to run a 5 minute mile with them, but I could totter along. Trying to tote all my ammo around though will most certainly give me a full on blazing hernia.

 

[Chipperman]

More than three people can carry at once.
As for ammo...
More than 10 people can carry at once.

 

[AZTOY]

The guns and ammo with fit in the pickup .




I need to do more shopping.

 

[Hkmp5sd]

Enough that the last time I moved, it took 2 loads in the pickup to transport them, an additional load for ammo and reloading supplies, plus a special trailer to haul the safes.

 

[JeepDriver]

Are we talking loaded weight or un loaded?

Either way,

I'm gonna need help from a few friends to move them all at once.

 

[Backwoods]

I'm with AZTOY, that's what I've got a truck for. Probably even have a little payload left over for other stuff(maybe not) I guess that's what the other truck is for!!

[Jrob24]

About 14 lbs worth

 

[BerettaNut92]

About 32 lbs.

 

[Ian]

A little under 60 pounds, not counting ammo, mags, bayonets, or reloading gear.

 

[Preacherman]

Including the weight of the guns, ammo, accessories, gun safe and cupboards used to hold it all, something over a ton. I know, because I moved in March, and had to carry the whole darn lot!

 

[Greg L]

I might be able to move the equivilant weight in a block of iron or lead for all the firearms (I couldn't do them as firearms though, too bulky). Move it, not carry it, move it. I would have to get a good bracing on something and then might be able to shove it with my feet.

Ammo I wouldn't even want to think about moving.

[Mike Irwin]

Best I can figure, doing some fast and rough calculations, roughly 300 pounds of guns.

 

[Spieler]

Not including mags, ammo, bayos, optical sights and related do-dads and cool high-speed clutter, I estimate I currently have about 85 pounds worth of firearms. Cool, I never thought about it like that! Now I have to figure out how to distribute that weight between my wife and the three girls when the time comes.

 

[ed dixon]

Okay, now I have to weigh the guns. This is getting weird. (Alright, maybe a hundred pounds worth. Are they fat or do they still look good in this?)

 

[4v50 Gary]

More than I can press with my legs and arms combined. If I "pile" them up ala "war trophy" style, they'll all fit into the bed of a truck, but the scratches! My heaviest is a 26" heavy bbl Rem 700 w/HS Precision stock. That must weigh about 15 lbs min.

 

[IRONFIST]

Around 13 Lbs. of fun and security.

I don't know, but they sure seem heavy when cased up while carrying them out to the truck. The double rifle cases are the worst- put a Hawkin rifle and a swedish 96 in one, and a shotgun and a target rifle in the other, it feels like I'm carrying two cinder blocks. I could fit them all in my truck, but it would take several armloads, and I don't have enough guncases for all of them.

 

[glockten]

180-185 pounds.

 

[10-Ring]

I say about 35 lb's worth of guns.

 

[P-35/53]

About 50 lbs worth of guns- about 50 lbs worth of ammo.

 

[TexasVet]

Somewhere between 600-700 lbs of guns, I ain't even gonna try to estimate the ammo. SWMBO just looked over my shoulder and said "HOW MUCH!"

 

[jrpeterman]

Close to 55 lbs. in firearms.

 

[griz]

I don't know exactly. It's not up to tonnage but is in three figures. Much more in bullets. About 20 or 30 pounds of powder. Maybe 1 pound of cleaning rods.

 

[T.Stahl]

Nineteen and a half pounds of steel, wood and polymer, not counting magazines.
