Shoota Boy
Overview
Ork Boyz with a preference for the shooty side of combat are called Shoota Boyz and are armed with shootas instead of the basic slugga and choppa. Shoota Boyz however, have no appreciation for marksmanship, and are more addicted to the violent noise and heavy recoil of automatic gunfire. This is psychologically due to Ork belief that a firearm won't cause any real damage unless it makes a loud, terrifying noise.[1a]
A Shoota Boyz Mob usually consists of 10 to 30 Shoota Boyz which may include a Nob. Other weapons found in Shoota Boy squads include big shootas and rokkit launchas.[1b]
