			Note that for all weapons that are loaded by the game during setup, subtract the ammo weight from the "Loaded" values given below. The ammo weight only applies if you load the weapon yourself. Think of this as "Free-loading". :)

Think of it instead as a measure of how much the item causes Encumbrance. The Weight value should not be considered an actual physical quality such as mass.

	~~Item weights are~~ a ~~heavy influencing factor for determining~~ [[~~Throwing Accuracy~~ \| ~~throwing distance~~]]~~. Note that although ammo~~ loaded into a weapon ~~does count towards soldier encumbrance, its~~ weight is ~~ignored when throwing the weapon~~.		Due to a [[Known Bugs#Weightless Loaded Ammo\|helpful bug]], clips or shells automatically loaded into carried weapons by the game engine for the pre-battle Equipment Setup screen are not counted for weight. This changes as soon as you unload or reload the weapon (even during the Equipment Setup screen); the full weight is counted thereafter.

	In the battlescape display, an item lying on the ground might represent a pile of items. In this case, it is the heaviest item displayed (usually a corpse).

	Item weights are represented in [[Strength]] units. For example, an item of 18 weight units requires a bare minimum of 18 strength points for you to carry without suffering an [[TU#Encumbrance\|encumbrance]] penalty on your [[TU]] refresh rate.		Item weights are represented in [[Strength]] units. For example, an item of 18 weight units requires a bare minimum of 18 strength points for you to carry without suffering an [[Time Units#Encumbrance\|encumbrance]] penalty on your [[Time Units\|TU]] refresh rate.

	Therefore, if you want to micromanage your items for a very weak soldier, add up the weight of all the items you want to issue the soldier, then compare the result against the soldier's strength. Add or remove items as necessary while keeping the weight vs. strength level balanced.
