I'd like to reopen this.
I'm quite certain that this is incorrect. The base weight for an unloaded soldier should be 0.
The source of confusion is that Vanilla X-Com suffers from bugs tracking ammo weight. Scroll down to the section for "displaced ammo weight". Basically whenever you dropped a loaded gun you would still be incorrectly tracked as carrying the ammo for weight purposes. This would make it appear that you had extra weight even when stripping yourself of all inventory items. Unloading the gun before dropping it would update your weight correctly and you would end up with 0 weight for an empty inventory.
