How many beans do you think they could fit in one of those bad boys?

    There's about 400 beans in a one-pound can, and a blackhawk has an internal cargo limit of 2600lbs. It could alternatively carry a 9,000lb load via sling.

    That's either 1,040,000 or 3.6M beans

    Of course, some of that is going to be in packaging, and the average dried bean is about half the size of a ready-to-eat bean. I'm guessing you could make it between 4-10 million beans depending on how you want to optimize
