: I wasn't aware that the specifications for a spike grenade on Halopedia : included its mass, so I didn't make any attempt to calculate the masses of : any equipment. : Using the information (spike grenade = 1.93 kg), I determined (approximately) : the masses of the different equipment units: Bubble Shield: 20.5 kg : Power Drainer: 5.1 kg Trip Mine: 9.7 kg Grav Lift: 19.6 kg : Regenerator: 20.1 kg Radar Jammer: 9.3 kg Flare: 3.1 kg Deployable : Cover: 13.6 kg : These numbers are inherently inaccurate for a number of reasons, but should : give a general idea as to how heavy each of the units are. : Just for trivia: assuming that all of my calculations are correct, the Master : Chief should be able to throw a baseball at approximately 104.7 m/s, or : 236 mph , almost 559 meters (just over 6 football fields). Try that on : for a fast ball. That's a neat experiment. Like some of my early articles, it was just neat to see what you could determine/deduce/calculate about things in the Halo universe. Judging just by looks, my instinct tells me a Trip Mine should weigh at least twice as much as a Bubble Shield device rather than the reverse, but I still see how you went about figuring it out. :)
