Not so much, its more less in weight than the DKoK rifle...must be near 5kg´s..thats ok for a rifle. I´m doinmy duty with the old G3 assault rifle. It had nearly the same weight.
I Believe my M14 Designated Marksman Rifle with leupold scope weighed about 6 kg when i used in the marine corp, i also had some range time with the G3A3 in South Korea training the ROK
Like the M14 too...the weight is ok at both weapons, the only point at the most warhammer weapons is the bulky way of the housing and stock(at the cadian or death korps standard rifles)
