Great one Uncle Ginsters! The biggest one I ever saw was 35,000 lbs. I don't think the video is on public release yet. Search for X38 for the nearest.
One thing that always troubled me was how the weights were expressed. We were worse than anyone. We had extracted mass, suspended (beneath the parachute) mass and payload. payload was most important to the guys on the battlefield.
the weights quoted above for MSP are totally misleading. probably leaving not enough of your pasties to feed a platoon let alone an army!
