Mephistophilis says:
The good doctor Octavian has taken the full 6 so something must have hit between the Carpathians and Chișinău. Although I imagine hospital radiological safety was probably not quite so good back then so he might have picked it up there. I used to do a lot of work with radioisotopes in a lab back then. And uranium. (Looks around for a Geiger counter to measure himself).

Could have been a problem when the Soviets crossed Ukraine... Maybe they hit Chernobyl with bigger arty and more directly. It's already been a problem in the RL conflict over there... It's not like the Russians are known to steer clear of the nuclear reactor disasters they created...

Hey man, 4/6 is exceedingly hot since we haven't been nuked yet.
The Chernobyl explanation could also explain why Rooster is so nicely irradiated as well...

I imagine this is not the case, 0.25kg for belt fed weapons. I'm not looking right now to be honest.

On the same page, a 'Unit' is 3 Kgs.

From the Player Manual at the top of Page 19 in the high-lighted part....

So a 100 belt of 7.62mm (lick your flavor) is 3 Kgs. In real life the 7.62x51mm 100 belt is
"Weight of a 100 round assault pack (2 per can) is 7 pounds." or about 3.18 Kgs
