What does that say about us without armor? How high would my lift take me? How big of a mountain can I carry?

Does the armor weigh that much? No… Are guardians super strong? Yes. Is it because of their armor? Partially. Take stompies lore tab as an example. Powerful enough to potentially rip off Marcus Ren’s legs using something loosely described as ‘Mechasynapses’. Synthoceps are powered by an artificial organism. The ship ‘The Tall Tale’ tell the story of Andal Brask meeting hunter Tellula Fariwind. Laughing at a humorous commment, she slaps him on the shoulder so hard it KILLS him. Seriously. His ghost had to rez him. Light is part of their strength, sure. But not all or even most of it. In the Red War cinematic where Zavala, Ikora and Cayde are launching their infiltration of the city to retake it, a lightless Zavala overpowers a Cabal Legionary and takes his rifle… the thing looks to weigh a lot. Cabal are no slouches either, their Homeworld has a higher density atmosphere meaning a greater amount of gravity. Later in Forsaken Cayde lifts a massive piece of metal debris off himself in the Last Stand cinematic. Finally every class Solar is proof of guardians having incredible strength; throwing or swinging weapons made from solar plasma which is second only to dark matter in density.
