The A '''Zzap Gun''' is a powerful yet unreliable energy cannon created by the Orks. It is essentially a wire-bound tube with a powerful generator at the back end of it. Although potent, it's power is determinened by the willpower of the grot firing the weapon, as its firing lever also electrocutes the Gretchin firing it.<sup>2</sup>The Zzap Gun represents the pinnacle of [[Ork]] technological advancement. An extremely powerful weapon, the Zzap gun serves a role not dissimilar to [[Lascannon]] of the [[Imperium of Man]] in that it fires concentrated beams of energy effective against vehicles. Albeit powerful, the Zzap gun suffers from the common maladies of all [[Ork Armoury|Ork weapons]] and as such can vary to have such devastating power that it is stronger than anything in the Imperium, but can also be impotent enough to barely singe a [[Gretchin]]. <sup>1</sup> Interested as to how the Orks were able to acquire such technology, the Imperium once monitored a [[Mekboy]] constructing a Zzap gun. Yet when he was interrogated, the Imperials found that the knowledge for creating it was innate to the Ork race.<sup>1</sup>
