Why the US Army would issue a 40 machine gun is beyond me...I did read somewhere, though, that the Marines in the Pacific theater used a personal anti-tank weapon that weighed in close to 35 pounds. I think it had 'Boys' as part of the name, but can't remember. I'll have to look it up.

I think the average agreement on the BAR weight is 18.5 pounds.
