Just under half a ton.

Light travels faster than sound,
that's why people seem bright,

Ignore the troll. Nakedgirls does this across multiple forums. rarely if ever right about anything.

Usually posting a one or two word titled, followed by a one or to word post, rarely if ever a complete sentence even.

But actually according to Wikipedia, a 16" shell does weigh 1,900 to 2,700 pounds - that is, bracketing one ton. Other sources upon Googling gave similar answers. Not that this is my area of expertise but this is what the sources say.
