Orks use a bewildering variety of bladed, spiked, jagged, serrated, barbed and notched weapons in close combat. Large, heavy and deadly in Ork hands, they usually look like an [[axe ]] or a [[sword|broad knife]], but can take almost any form - from chain-choppas, crude Ork equivalents of other races' massive [[chainswordhammer]]s, to a huge rusty pipes equipped with additional spikes for extra damage. Not really choosy, Orks consider anything they can cut their enemies to pieces with as a choppa. They seem to be so greatly integrated into Ork psyche, so even the most dim-witted Ork can fashion them. Choppas are one-handed weapons and are often used in a pair with [[Slugga]]s. [[Mobs]] of Orks, equipped with Sluggas and Choppas are known as [[Slugga Boy]]s.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2}}

</gallery></center> ===Chain-Choppa===Some shoppas are nore advanced than the others and feature a chain mechanism. Known as chain-choppas they are basically crude Ork equivalents of other races' [[chainsword]]s or [[chain axe]]s. These weapons are more effective than normal choppas as long as they still function and the user remembers to turn the chain mechanism on.{{Fn|}}<center><gallery>File:Chainchoppa.jpg|Chain-Choppa{{Fn|3b}}File:Chain-Choppa.jpg|Chain-Choppa{{Fn|7}}File:Chainsword Ork.jpg|2nd edition Chain-Choppa{{Fn|5}}

Chains and crude flails [[flail]]s are not as popular as other Ork weapons, but some Boys fancy them for their advantages - they are great for wacking opponents from speeding vehicles and they can't be blocked. However, some unexperienced [[Yoofs]] can wrap the weapon around their neck, doing more damage to themselves then the enemy.{{Fn|2}}:''See also: [[Flail]] and [[Grotwhip]]''

Spears [[Spear]]s lack the bone-splintering "crunchiness" of the more common Ork weapons, but they give their user the advantage in reach, and can be chucked at an enemy in an attempt to hurt him.{{Fn|2}}:''See also: [[Spear]]''
