Actually, I just sort of assumed that the weight was just for the
components in their "raw" form. Its reasonable to believe that there
will be plenty of cutting down when your building an item. I'd just use
the size suggestions and guess the weight based on that. Besides, in
Deadlands weight almost never matters any way. The only time you keep
track of weight is when somebody decides they want to carry 15 pistols
and 500 boxes of ammo at once, than tries to quick draw.
The only real limit to Junkers is the fact that Ghost Rock is almost
impossible to find, and recharging your guns requires POUNDS of the
stuff. Of course, you could always give your Junker Dinero and decide
that whatever he finds is in ghost rock.
