I've gotten 70 lbs of metal in a flat rate box. A good sturdy cardboard box will hold well over 100 pounds. Especially if you use that horrible tape with the strings in it

Not an actual event. But there is a key piece of information to the hypothetical scenario which is required to know the answer.
Hmm then perhaps the next question would be, what's the shape of the metal. 100 pounds of feathers would be flat but 100 pounds of metal could be any shapeI've gotten 70 lbs of metal in a flat rate box.

Good point...how much do the boxes themselves weigh? Or are we to assume the box is the same in both cases?Are both boxes made of the same material? I suppose cardboard would be adequate to hold the feathers but not the metal

I estimate a cardboard box that would hold 100 lbs of metal would also hold 100 lbs of feathers (they're compressible so you could balance the tare.Good point...how much do the boxes themselves weigh?

Are the boxes virtual? Are you playing a game?
Really thinkin' outside the box there.I theorize that a box with 100 pounds of feathers will hurt less if the feathers are not compressed but loose. The box should have a lot of surface area whichever can give.
A box of metal will transfer most of its energy into the target cranium.

With all the adhesive it's close to napalm I'm sureI tried to burn some of that stuff in the wood stove and was quite surprised at how long it took for the "string" to finally turn to ash.
