Tried a search, turned up nothing.

So can anyone tell me why an MRP (6 ammo, mimimal damage) has ammo that costs $916 for a 6 shot reload and weighs 240Lbs?

is it some mistake that has bever been fixed (since this weapon isnt used much) or is there a legitimate reason why 1 bulk (the size of a pistol) weighs 120 Lbs. Are they made of dark matter? Did Nibbler take a dump in the ammo when it was being made?

my understanding is this: it's 6 3 bulk mini rockets that weigh 25 lbs each for 150 plus the housing itself. it's only 6 bulk (instead of 18) because it's like a pod, hanging out of the car, like an exposed engine, and so the excess doesnt count towards what the car can hold. its not 6 1 bulk rockets...

My point is that a RELOAD is 1 bulk, 120Lbs, $916

Reloads aren't hanging out of my car in a pod. It fully reloads the 6 shot pod.

Im having trouble grasping the logic of a 1 bulk item weighing 120Lbs. (this weight is equivalent to 50 Tank Gun rounds ...5 reloads... but only 1 bulk) Not to mention the cost (similar cost to a HRR reload)

Just wondering what the logic happens to be for this, or if the numbers are accidental.

Concerning TG rounds... 20 Lbs for 10 shots? 2Lbs per round? That's a mighty small TG! Even the 76mm Sherman Firefly was a 17 Pounder wasn't it?

ATG: 1Lb per round
TG: 2Lb per round

I suspect this is magic math.

ok yeah you're right, if just the reload is 240lbs that's weird.

You're absolutely right. The ammo should be much bigger. I think Sam just applied the machine gun/bullets ratio to a situation where it doesn't fit.

Another in a long line of oddities that are probably on a fix-it list somewhere that will never get worked through.

weight = five mini rockets, bulk of ammo is always weapon bulk divided by 5
