Note: I'm new to the forums so go easy.

I'm currently making a Rigger, and these forums have answered almost all my questions. One question has eluded me since picking up the SR4 rulebook.

What is accually "larger" than a LMG? Obviously MMGs and HMGs would be larger, but where do grenade, rocket, and missile launchers fall?

Since no weights are given I do my normal and fall back on RL, given that even simi-auto grenade launchers are often smaller/light than LMGs.

Example: Milkor MGL (6 shot 40mm simi-automatic grenade luncher) = 11.68lb vs. M249 squad automatic weapon (LMG) = 17lb

Also, given that sholder fired rocket/ launchers can be lighter than LMGs.

Example: LRAC F1 (reusable rocket launcher) = 16.1lb vs. FN Minimi (LMG) = 18lb

Further complicating things is the fact that some "Heavy Sniper Rifles" like those that the Barret Model 121 from Arsenal is modeled after weigh much more than LMGs

Example: Barrett M82 (.50 caliber sniper rifle) = 30lb vs. M60 (1950s LMG) = 23.15lb

The cake topper for me is the fluff text from the Nimrod Aerial Combat Drone listing a Multi rocket launcher that does not even exist (unless you count the Gleche Hail Barrage Rocket Launcher from p103 "Main Guns")

Can anyone make any more sense out of this?
