Looks heavy AF to me

I would be much easier to carry if they took the wheels off, what a dumbass

The wheels maybe. Just maybe. Be needed when firing. In some terrain it may be easier to lift it but judging from the picture I bet he was either telling people he can lift it or I bet he was like. Oh get one with me carrying it. Pictures were way rarer so if you had one you wanted it to be either perfect or epic.
