[[File:Shoota.jpg|thumb|300px|Typical Ork '''Shoota'''<sup>4</sup>]]
'''Shoota''' is name for the most popular type of Ork gun. 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 they 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 e but effective weapon. Shootas Shoota is considered good if they fire it fires a burst of shots at once and make makes a lot of noizenoise. Noize Noise is important, as many Orks beleive believe that the louder a weapon is, the better damage and range it has. Orks enjoying , that enjoy 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>
