>>6050771>>6050712>Gear Loadout with Descriptions. Please Read for Reference.Bk (#), this is your backpack total capacity of items in kilos, and includes extra capacity from pockets on clothing. Backpacks start with 10kg capacity, or 22 lb. If that sounds low, put 3 gallons of water in a backpack and lug it around your living room. It's more than it sounds like, especially after you do it for half an hour.
Ct (#), this is your cart capacity, like a grocery cart, or rolling suitcase, or duffel bag. These have to be kept track of, and explicitly addressed by YOU, for the purpose of success rolls. Duffel Bags have to be carried in addition to your other items, and slow you down when moving, think the money bags in Payday.
B (1)##, Bow, or crossbow with 1 capacity and spare, +(#) for each arrow in quiver. arrows can be recovered, but is slow firing.
P (#)##, Pistol, 6-30rd capacity and spare ammo, +(#) for each extra magazines or speed loader.
M (#)##, Machine gun, 20-60rd capacity and spare ammo, +(#) for each extra magazine or drum
S (#)##, Shotgun, 1-20rd cap and spare ammo, (#) for each extra magazines, drums or bandoleers
R (#)##, Rifle 1-100rd cap and spare ammo, +(#) for each extra magazine or bandoleer
Me, Melee weapon, short, medium or long range pol arm. Use these at your own risk. No reloading, but extended use is exhausting, especially if you are already encumbered.
D, Defense item, such as worn armor or a shield, is heavy, but narrows the rolls or adds extra roll digit opportunities for defense. Like a melee weapon it will be more exhausting with extended continuous use.
All carried gear should be properly named and described so that it can be generally weighed. These things can be looked up, i.e. a Winchester model 94 weighs 3.1 kilos. That's a real number. 50rds of 9mm weigh about 650 grams. You can carry as much as you like, provided you actually already have it, and keep track of it.
For instance, Mike Tapper, as of the exit from the store has a revolver with 26rds, P (6)20
A FEG P-63 Makarov with an extra loaded mag, P (8)+(8)
An MP5 with an extra mag, M(30)+(30)
A piece of rebar, MeM.
The revolver and makarov loaded, with extra ammo weigh less than a kilo each. The mp5 is about 2.54 kg and about 3kg with the extra loaded mag.
Mike is also wearing a backpack, and has a spare duffel bag. So if he took all his weapons and his emptied bags he could carry (10) plus (10) more in the duffel, less 2 pistols, 2kg, 1 submachine gun, 3kg, and a piece of rebar 1kg, leaves 4 on his person, and 10 spare, (4)+(10)
>tl:dr, most pistols with up to 50 extra rounds really would weigh about 1kg each, most submachine guns, shotguns and rifles with about 20-30 extra rounds weigh 3-3.5kg. Let's say that melee weapons weigh 1kg, and long things like axes or pole arms, 2kg. You can only practically carry 10kg at most for any length of time without a grocery cart or such like. So be mindful of how much you bring and how much you try to loot.
