I fucked up in my cyberpunk red campaign by not understanding how the drug trade works, now they have a brick of synthcoke that’s worth like 400k eddies

Going by a Google search, no one on the internet seems to have speculated about how much Lady can lift. No relevant results, and even the AI couldn't shit out something that looks relevant.
Tumblr media
I did find a comment in a Reddit thread speculating that Kalina Ann is a heavily modified M20, with a micro-missile pad, grappling wire, and bayonet added.
According to Wikipedia, the earlier version of the M20 weighs 6.5 kg/14.3 lbs when unloaded, and the missile weighs an additional 4 kg/9 lbs. So before adding in the missile pad, the grappling wire, and the bayonet, Kalina Ann weighs 10.5 kg, or 23.3 lbs. For context, a bowling ball is only about 15 lbs. 4 bricks gets only slightly higher at 25.6 pounds. A perfectly liftable weight for an adult human, but it would probably take a lot of endurance to carry it for a long time, let alone to jump and roll the way Lady can.
To make things easy on myself, my headcanon is that the bayonet and the missile pad weigh roughly the same, to ensure that the weapon is balanced. I've obviously never used a rocket launcher, but in my limited experience with guns, if anything they tend to be heavier in the barrel than the stock. I suppose a more balanced weapon would make it easier for Lady to be as nimble as a devil hunter needs to be (it's one thing for a weapon to be heavy, but another for its weight distribution to feel awkward).
Let's look at a visual reference:
Tumblr media
The micro-missile doesn't look much smaller than the standard missile, but it is much less powerful. To try and be reasonable, I'm going to say that it weighs 0.5 kg/1.1 lbs. Since the missile pad seems to contain nine micro-missiles, the weight of the loaded pad must be greater than 4.5 kg/9.9 lbs. Assuming that the bayonet plus the grappling wire weigh about the same, that brings our total weight up to...
... 19.5 kilograms, or 43 pounds.
For reference, the average gallon bucket of paint weighs 11 pounds, or about 1/4 as much. Going by my headcanon, Kalina Ann's weight is equivalent to sticking four cans of paint, gluing them together, and slinging them over your shoulder. And although it probably helps that Kalina Ann is longer and slimmer than four cans of paint, that Lady carries the weapon so easily is a testament to her strength and endurance.
