Notes:
Small articles to go with the gunpod art Rizzo put together. This contains both an ammunition magazine and a place to put those magazines while the U-1 is in flight.
I was really hoping to avoid that. Raz did the art which means he has the Doga model so I can't use my Doga measuring stick to tell you exactly what size these are.
From guesstimation: The ammo magazine is just under 5 feet tall. Maybe 4 foot 10 or 4-8?
Its a little less than 4 times thick as it is tall. So maybe about a foot and a half wide.
The magazine holder is about 20 feet long and maybe 5 feet wide.
Weight wise my guessing would be even worse but 'too heavy to carry' is certainly the fully loaded weight for both.
I do have the model for that particular magazine and I did my best to match what I think the size is on Rizzo's art.
The magazine internally is kinda a duplex style ammo magazine holding four stacks of 16 rounds in 2x2 configuration. 2 more rounds kinda fit in at the top and you can see some smoke rounds slightly exposed in the artwork.
Ok, looks like 81mm mortar rounds are about 10 pounds each so I'm using that to estimate the weight of each round. That means the ammo itself weighs 660 pounds. I'm just going to round up to 700 for the total weight assuming the carrying case weighs 40 pounds... which might be a bit on the heavy side but that's ok.
