Does anyone have a weight for these pumps?

Plus, what is the normal GPM for a hand pump. I'm just wondering how the foot pump compares to the 10-15 for the Guzzler. After dumping my kayak this summer in rough water I was able to 1/2 empty it by lifting the bow as I flipped it - then once in it only took 2 minutes to empty out the remainder with my hand pump. - how would that compare time wise.
