     Are you certain that he said 'two fifty-cal' and not '2 5.0 gal'
cans
of frosty. (Fosters)

:-)

Two Fifty cal HBMG weigh 192+ pounds and two cans of 50 cal linked ammo 
(100 rds ea.) weigh 60.5 lbs.  This plus mountings and rider would  put 
the load at around 500 pounds on a bike.   Not very likely. (But we are
talking about residents of Oz) :-)  )

Two .30 SAW with belts I can believe!	
That the comment was made after some frosties, I believe!
