12,500 would be the gross weight or more properly the max takeoff weight of most BE-200s. Depending on the branch of the military and the model engine, it is operated at weights higher than 12,500. The one I flew for the Navy had a max takeoff weight of 13,500 and I heard the Army flew it even heavier. Military pilots often get the type rating since they can.

Even for a Boeing 747, the F/O does not need a type rating.
However, for any flights long enough to require a relief pilot, there must always be a type rated pilot on duty, so many airlines just type every F/O on long range aircraft to simplify manning.
