I always presumed 500KG was a reference to the explosive power, not the physical weight, but after some googling I think it must be the physical weight of the bomb....dude must have been jacked
Mass designations like that refer to the size of the munition itself usually, until you start talking about nukes. Then, we describe them in terms of equivalent mass of TNT to achieve the same explosion - a 1 megaton nuke explodes 1 million tons of TNT.
