2. Muskets were sometimes packed 25 to a chest. A chest was 16 cubic feet. Forty cubic feet equal 1 ton. Hence a chest of 25 muskets weighed 896 pounds.
3. Muskets were also packed 20 to a chest. A chest was 11 cubic feet. Forty cubic feet equal 1 ton. Hence a chest of 20 muskets weighed 616 pounds.
4. Pistols were packed 50 - 60 to a chest. A chest was 10 cubic feet. Forty cubic feet equal 1 ton. Hence a chest of 50 - 60 pistols weighed approximately 560 pounds.
