I found an ordnance text and picked up some weights for ammunition - I
got kind of irritated with Shadowrun's "10 rounds = .5kg" approximation
(according to them, I was carrying 25lb of ammo for one section attack)

These are for rounds in packing crates, as embarked on warships. The
bigger stuff is just included for reference.

I'll work on something a little more accurate for SR terms in a minute.
