    20 pounds isn't very heavy for a typical 170 pound adult male who is in relatively good shape.

    I'll rephrase it then: so when did you leave the kindergarten?

    You see, a support weapon at 20lbs is not exactly heavy for the average soldier. A Vixckers MMG at 80lbs with tripod is a bit unwieldy, alright, but the BAR had been designed to be man-portable. Of course, it may look heavy to a lightweight...
