== Description and Variants ==
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 broad knife, but can take almost any form - from chain-choppas, crude Ork equivalents of other races' [[chainsword]]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|11a}}{{Fn|2}}
