Could it be that he classified it with the loaded weight due to the nature
of the beast, it having a Drum Magazine?

I have no hard data on the M86A1 (one of those holes I was talking about!)
Is it possible that he listed the majority of the MGs with no ammo, due to
their using belted ammo?

Let me know what you think.
