“It’s only 4 pounds.”

Babe Ruth’s Louisville Slugger baseball bat only weighed 2.6 pounds.

But to put it into perspective historically... In those days English Long Bows for war had a draw weight of 140 to 190 pounds.

They had to be physically conditioned for years to command these weapons.

It’s 4 feet long and covered with encrustations. No way it’s only 4 pounds.

Exactly. I’m sure an African Swallow could carry it.
