it uses magazines, surely, not clips?

Am I reading that correctly as empty weight of 7.5 lbs, and loaded 21?
If that's right, that's too heavy for a shoulder fired gun.  A typical
person wouldn't be able to shoot it accurately.  What would it weigh
with a lower capacity magazine (20-40 rounds)?  That might make it
practical to use as a rifle, and not an SAW, without the bipod.
