The ODM makes people get airborne, look awesome and contribute to the fight
against the enimeys of paradise. But how much does it weigh? People are
constantly running with it so I assume it doesn't weigh that much, but I don't
think its that light either.

How much does the ODM gear weigh?


Like few people stated in comments, the information wasnt given to us by the
author. But even we ever gt that info from Isayama, it would still b just his
speculation

There's a fan-made ODM, you can watch it on youtube. The weight of it was 6.6
lb, but i believe more professional ODM gear would be heavier. But for sake of
speculation lets say 6.6 lb is down limit of the ODM weight.

So i tried to figure out what's the upper limit. Anyway, the fact that they
can run in this ODM gear is actually very important information. Soldiers can
run with a full equipment, right? I googled that US soldier are carrying at
average at least 97 pounds, actually more than medieval armors lol. But i
don't think its any reliable information, because soldiers are carrying a ton
of equipment and ODM gear doesn't have much equipment - it need to be as light
as possible. SO maybe a Civil War soldier? He was lighter, he carried about 60
lbs.

But saying the ODM weight something between 7 lb to 60 lb... its still not
satisfying answer.

So i tried a different approach. I tried finding oxygen cylinder similar to
the one used in ODM gear. <https://qd-ruiming.en.made-in-
china.com/product/oBaQnSjTVLRE/China-Competitive-Price-Portable-Oxygen-
Cylinder-with-Valve.html> it weigh 2.8 km (about 6 lbs) (the smallest one) We
need two, so it's about 12 lbs

Apparently normal size medieval sword weighs 2.5-3.5 lbs.
<http://www.thearma.org/essays/weights.htm#.X_DRzzSg9aQ> Since we have 8
blades and 2 tilts... lets say we have 2 full weight 3.5 lbs and 6 blades with
weight of 2.5 lbs 2x3.5 = 7. 6x2.5 = 15. 7+15 = 22lbs

Lets add all the stripes (I would say max 2 lbs) and the mechanism - 3 lbs.

So my guess is 12+22+2+3= 39 lbs

IN CONCLUSION: Im speculating te weight of ODM is 39 lbs.I might be wrong, but
its definitely something between 6.6lbs - 60 lbs.

BUT AGAIN, it's just a speculation and nothing more! x)
