The type also had an empty weight of 2,350 kg, normal combat loaded weight of 2,929.7 kg and maximum take-off weight of 3,010 kg. The MC.202 also had one Alfa Romeo R.A.1000 R.C.41-I Monsoni (Monsoon) twelve cylinder inverted Vee liquid cooled engine rated at1,175 hp at 2,500rpm for take off and 1,400 hp at 2,400rpm. This was supplied by fuel contained in two fuselage tanks - a main tank holding 59 Imp gal (70.85 US Gal), and a reserve tank holding 17.6 Imp gal (21 US Gal) - supplemented by two wing tanks holding 8.8 Imp gal (10.57 US Gal) each. Early examples retained the twin Breda-SAFAT 12.7mm guns of the Saetta, but ammunition capacity was increased to 400 rounds per gun. Later models also carried a 7.7mm gun with 500 rounds in each wing. One batch carried a Mauser MG 151/20 with 200 rounds in a fairing under each wing, in place of the 7.7mm weapons.
