"Sapling"

Relatively boring, but useful. I'm curious as to the relative cost of ammunition/Dust in Remnant. It would help us with this kind of thing. It wouldn't be needed in-show, but us fans could use data on the show's economy.

"Ifrit's Maw"

While this is excessive weight for what you're doing, Coco's weapon may well be heavier.

The real life M61 seems to be the basis for Coco's gatling gun. Without ammunition or a feed system the M61A1 weighs112kg (248 pounds) and the M61A2 weighs 92kg (202 pounds).

Both use the 20x102mm caliber, which weighs 100g per round. The A1 fires at at 6,000RPM. The A2 fires at 6,600RPM.

M61A1+one minute of rounds (without a feed system, belt, or links): 712kg

M61A2 +one minute of rounds (without a feed system, belt, or links): 752kg

Until we know otherwise, I'm using the real world weapons as a basis for weight.
