What is the weight of a Missile?

• A. 25 Pounds
• B. 30 Pounds
• C. 32 Pounds
• D. 28 Pounds

Answer: (D)

Understanding what the missile weighs is about recognizing how heavy a shoulder-fired system must be to remain portable yet still effective. The Stinger missile is designed to be carried and operated by a single person, so its body is kept around a practical, light weight. The standard missile weight is about 28 pounds, which balances portability with enough mass for the propulsion and seeker to function properly. The other options are not aligned with this typical specification—25 pounds is noticeably lighter than the standard, while 30 or 32 pounds would make the system markedly heavier to carry and handle in the field. So, 28 pounds is the value that fits the real-world design and handling requirements.
