On a serious note, I don't think the weight of a jumper/302 has ever been mentioned. Besides the obvious point, are we talking weight with the inertial dampening turned on or off?The drums, the drums, the never ending drumbeat! Open me you human fool!

What does inertial dampening systems have to do with weight? Inertial Dampeners are things that prevent things inside the starship from feeling the effects of shifts in velocity and acceleration. When a ship goes from 0 to warp, it's the thing that prevents the crew from slamming into the hull and turning into salsa. has nothing to do with weight.
and turning on anti-grav (which is what I think you were thinking of) is really pointless, since Antigrav effectively lifts you off the ground by countering the effects of gravity in small increments. It would be like asking "HOW MUCH WOULD THEY WEIGH IF SOMEONE LIFTED THEM UP WITH CRANES."Save The Cheerleader, Save The World.

1) In redemption, Sam's explaining the technical problems with getting the gate in to orbit, she states that the engines were designed for a vessel with an alien internal dampening system, with a lower overall mass
2) And in SGA "The Storm", Carson claims that he's adding weight to the jumper by resetting it's inertial dampeningThe drums, the drums, the never ending drumbeat! Open me you human fool! Open the light and summon me and receive my majesty!

... How the heck does one guestimate the weight of a ship that has no real point of comparison?
I guess you can start with "it's not heavy enough to sink into the ground when it lands", but just about ANYTHING on the planet can do that.Save The Cheerleader, Save The World.

We could start wondering what is it's displacement. We got the lenght and height, don't we?
Then we could assume that it's made of an alloy of trinium, which is 100 times ligher and stronger than steel, so what do we have here.. for steel we could use iron.. let's say trinium weights 76g per litre or 76kg per cubic metre.
