'''Shootas''' are standard weapons used by [[Ork]]s. The best weapon is one which is deadly but also makes a lot of noise. The more of each, the better the weapon in the eyes of the Ork. They are very common and as such are often combined with other weapons to make a [[Kombi-Weapon]].<sup>1a</sup>
[[File: A Shoota Boy.jpg|rightthumb|thumbnail300px|150px|An Typical Ork Shoota Boy]]'''Shoota''' is name for the most popular type of Ork gun.<sup>2</sup>There is no standard design for Shoota - most of them are hand-crafted by [[Mekboy|Mekboys]]and are often customized by their owners, so although it may conform to a general pattern, no two shootas will look the same. A shoota fires either massive bullets or explosive shells, or even a mixture of both. As is the case with most Ork weapons, it is crude but effective weapon. Shootas considered good if they fire a burst of shots at once and make a lot of noize. Noize is important, as many Orks beleive that the louder a weapon is, the better damage and range it has. Orks enjoying shooting often acquire Shootas and form up mobs of Shoota Boys.
Because of [[Mekboy|Mekboys]]' constant struggle to outdo each other, shootas may vary in appearance, but they usually have comparable performance, unless received a 'kustom job' from a particularly inventive Mekboy. Shootas are very common and as such are often combined with other weapons to make a [[Kombi-Weapon]]<sup>1, 3</sup> <center><gallery>File:Shootas.jpgFile:OrkShoota.jpgFile:A Shoota Boy.jpg</gallery></center> ==Kannons=='''Kannons''' are simple Ork weapons, put together in huge numbers. Most of them have a single thick barrel and fire hefty shells stored in magazines or even loaded before each shot. Kannons are less popular then Shootas, because they have very slow rate of fire and their sidekick makes them unaccurate even for Orks. Still, they are pretty loud and have a big, intimidating muzzle and so are still used by some Ork Boys. ==Blunderbuss==  == See also Also==*[[Ork Weaponry (List)]]
