Out of the original ones, the average was around 6'6" and I believe John is slightly taller.

why is this an important subject.
And my guess would be that they are generally around 6.5-7 feet tall, depending on how tall they are without there armor

If you're spraking metrics then yes, 500 kg.
But no, an English Customary ton is 2000 pounds.

Practically the same. 500 kg = 1102 pounds. MC is half a ton, which one I can't remember but there's only a difference of 102 pounds between the two.

comon fellas read the books, their about 950-1000 pounds with armor on and about 350 without it. their are in the rabge of 6'7"-7'. and some are taller then others, heavier then others. they can run about 37km/h and up to bursts of 55 km/h, if im not mistaken although kelly is slightly faster. they can virtually see in the dark, and they can hear a pin drop in a sandstorm. im gona stop their since that covers the basics, besides all their biogenetical augmentations.

Yes, I remember in the books when they tested out the armor on an ODST Helljumper. He was your ordinary badass space marine and the armor crushed his body because it created so much pressure on the body.

Actually, it moved so fast it like, shattered the dudes bones and ripped joints out of sockets. Thats why only Spartans can use them, because of their super-human reflexes.

That super speed would cause a lot of pressure. But yeah, that's what I was getting at. The spartans had to go through all of those implant and bone reinforcement surgeries just to be able to wear the armor.
