lets do the math...
RPG-7 = 15 lbs
1 Round = 5.7 lbs x 5 = 28.5
AKS-47 = 8.5 lbs (empty)
lets say they each carry 5 mags (even though some of their vests carry more) = 7lbs
helmet = 4 lbs
LBV = 2.5 lbs (about)
assuming they are not carrying extra ammo for the gunner, no medic equipment, food, or water the total weight comes up to: 65.5 lbs
so yes i would say 75kg is very exagerated.
For the comments above...those guys are HA or have HA advisors :)
