For a 6 foot whoopie sling you need 12.5 feet of 7/64 Amsteel. At 1.3g per foot, that comes to 16.5g. A six foot length of 1" dyneema 2.0 webbing weighs in at 12g.
This is the reason I have eschewed whoopies for a single line of 2.5mm (7/64"). I have used stainless steel aliens for 2 years now, still using the same Amsteel as when I started, no wear to speak of.
