Looks like the 'world' average of the adult population's weight is 136lbs (62kg)

(Sheesh, the average Female in the US weighs more than the average male in South Korea..BY 12 lbs!. )
Well, I would assume the target customers of the M3/M4 will not be Asian women... so I maintain that this weight figure is irrealistic and therefor just more marketing BS.
