The mass of a beetle in metric units is 5 metric units no joke!
The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement, first adopted by France in 1791, that is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world.
The SI unit of the gram is the measure of mass. It is the basis for the units that measure force (Newton) and work (Joule).
If, by 'metric system', you mean 'SI system', then the base unit for mass is the kilogram
Not sure there is a definitive answer, or that there is a 'metric' system, but the S.I. unit of weight is the Kilogram (N.B. not the gram).

the metric units for mass are grams, kilograms, milligrams, ect.

Weight in the metric system is a function of gravitational acceleration, and is considered force, so the unit is in Newtons. Mass is measured in grams or kilograms.
A gramAnswer:The metric unit of mass is the kilogram. this is often mistakenly used as the unit of weight. The actual weight unit is the newton (N) - which can also be expressed in SI base units as kg·m/s² (kilograms times meters per second squared).
The SI unit of the gram is the measure of mass. It is the basis for the units that measure force (Newton) and work (Joule).
There is no specific "unit of weight" in the SI (the commonly used metric system). Since a weight is a force, you would use a unit of force - the newton.(If you mean MASS, the SI unit for that is the kilogram.)
If, by 'metric system', you mean 'SI system', then the base unit for mass is the kilogram
The metric unit of weight (or any other force such as that of a stretched spring, or a bat striking a ball, or a locomotive pulling a train) is called the newton.Newton is the unit of weight (exactly of force) in the SI; in base units is kg.m/s2.Don't make a confusion with the mass (where the unit is the kilogram).
The metric (SI) unit for weight is the newton, since weight is a force. When people talk about "weight", they sometimes actually mean "mass". The unit for mass is the kilogram.
Kilograms. Although they are often bought by number.
According to SI System of Units: Unit of Mass - Kilogram (Kg) Unit of Weight - Newton (N)
