It's pretty heavy, about 16lbs unloaded if I remember right. Not so heavy that it's too hard to carry, but heavy enough to be a pain in the ass. The good thing about the weight, though, is it makes it very easy to control when you're cutting loose with it. As for the hotel thing, that fucker is definately capable of doing whatever you need it to do, so long as you don't melt the barrel or run out of ammo. Shit, even though it's only firing 5.56 NATO which is small for a machinegun, it more than makes up for it with the ROF (750 RPM off the belt, 1000 RPM with a magazine). Oh, not to mention the fact that they're fun as hell to shoot :mrgreen:
