    BAR = 20.84 lbs (loaded)
    12 x 20-rd mags = 18.36 lbs (in cartridge belt)
    miscellaneous few pounds for cleaning kit, sling, belt.
    + grenades, knife, and the equipment only the BAR gunner carried.
    Found this at http://www.45thdivision.org/Pictures...combatload.htm
    sources listed on the site above. 98.6 lbs is the reported total combat load for the BAR gunner.
