data/json/items/gun/exodii.json:

"Originally designed for naval defense of a small island country, this gun has served the Exodii for as long as they have existed, being one of their reliable tools in the later stages of world decay. Cheap ammunition, a simple mechanism, and immense power output would make it a great weapon for any survivor who is able to carry nearly a ??? of its weight and is in need of penetrating a small bunker. Unless your body is compatible with the Exodii Standard Combat Bodyframe, you can only use it with a heavy-duty tripod, and only while prone. Due to the size of the top-mounted magazine, the user has to use a scope mounted on the side of the gun."

I have no idea what a "centner" is supposed to be. The text is in English, so the units should be recognizable as well (and please don't try "stones", even if this nominally is English).

"description": "A bulky 4-round magazine for the Exodii Ree 3.3 rifle. Even this small capacity magazine is hard to handle for a human."

This original doesn't seem correct: Is the magazine really weighing "a hundredweight" (use English compatible measurements!), rather than the gun?

"description": "Giant metal box with a belt, which allows it to be used as a high-capacity magazine for the Exodii Ree 3.3 rifle.",

Edit: It seems something has gobbled up many of my marking of the changes...

I found no better word for "100 kg" than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintal
In my (or, rather, Pryanik) defence, hundredweight is in fact british/US measurement, albeit unofficial

Is the magazine really weighing "a hundredweight"

description clearly says Grants some amount of portability, if a hundredweight piece of metal can be named portable, and piece of metal here is, of course, referring to the gun

Is the descrition from the point of view of the survivor, or from the Exodii?

[GuardianDll]

Exodii, same as the rest of exodii guns
Ideally such description should be moved elsewhere, and item description presenting it from survivor point of view, but it require some additional work, so i decided to follow the previous examples

In that case I think that centner is a cool word to include given the strange word-choices the Exodii sometimes have.

[PatrikLundell]

I don't see the point of having the description of a magazine refer to the weight of the weapon it's used with. That's out of scope.

[ampersand55]

We could describe the weight in tonnes or long tons if we want to be a bit fancy/naval but still having it being recognizable in English. E.g. "if a tenth tonne gun can be named portable" or "if a gun weighing a tenth of a long ton can be named portable".

The long ton was used to displacement of ships or a measure of bulk goods in shipping, and it would make sense for the unit to be used in describing something bulky in a naval context.

Hints for adding a new word to the dictionary

• If the word is normally in all lowercase, such as the noun word or the verb does, add it in its lower-case form; if the word is a proper noun, such as the surname George, add it in its initial-caps form; if the word is an acronym or has special letter case, such as the acronym CDDA or the unit mW, add it by preserving the case of all the letters. A word in the dictionary will also match its initial-caps form (if the word is in all lowercase) and all-uppercase form, so a word should be added to the dictionary in its normal letter case even if used in a different letter case in a sentence.
• For a word to be added to the dictionary, it should either be a real, properly-spelled modern American English word, a foreign loan word (including romanized foreign names), or a foreign or made-up word that is used consistently and commonly enough in the game. Intentional misspelling (including eye dialect) of a word should not be added unless it has become a common terminology in the game, because while someone may have a legitimate use for it, another person may spell it that way accidentally.
