Captian America here can carry over 200 lbs of stuff on his back and run at top speed

I'VE DONE THE RESEARCH

I'VE CRUNCHED THE NUMBERS

HERE'S WHAT A SURVIVR CAN CARRY:

Lv3 Military Backpack, of course.

Weapons PKP Pecheneg GPMG (x2): 18 lbs (unloaded) 36 lbs (ammo calculated below) Sledgehammer 20 lbs

Ammo 9mm (420): 0.262 oz per 6.88 lbs .45 ACP (300): 15 g per 9.92 lbs 7.62x51mm NATO (300+200+200): 25.5 g per 39.35 lbs 5.56×45mm NATO (300): 12.3 g per 8.13 lbs .308 Winchester (40): 0.4 oz per exactly 1 lb .50 AE (96): 0.686 oz per 4.11 lbs 12 gauge (90): 1.5 oz per 8.44 lbs Flares (8): research shows they tend to be 12gauge. 0.75 lbs

'''Of course, I haven't included some items out of laziness or triviality. Please help me complete this so we can add it to the Trivia :)'''

​​​​​​​For example, what would 40 snowballs weigh?
