Question
how much does parachuting equipment usually weigh, more specifically military parachuting equipment? i've been looking for the mass of an AIM MK3 parachute but i can't find it anywhere.

Answer
Hi, I'm afraid that I have no idea about military equipment and am only a sport jumper. You might be able to get a better answer from these guys though http://www.uptvector.com/

They are involved in the making of military gear so I'm sure they can answer your question
