[[File:Shoota.jpg|thumb|300px|Typical Ork '''Shoota'''^{{Fn|4}}]]'''Shoota''' is the name for the most popular type of [[Ork gun. There is no standard design for Shoota - most of them are hand-crafted by ]] [[Mekboy|Mekboysprojectile weapon]] and are often customized by their owners, so although 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,e but effective. Shoota is considered good if it fires a burst of shots at once and makes a lot of noise. Noise is important, as many Orks believe that the louder a weapon is, the better damage and range it has. Orks, that enjoy shooting often acquire Shootas and form up mobs of Shoota Boys.

== Description and Variants ==There is no standard design for a Shoota - most of them are hand-crafted by [[Mekboy]]z and are often customized by their owners, so although 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, they are crude but effective. A Shoota is considered good if it fires a burst of shots at once and makes a lot of noise. Noise is important, as many Orks believe that the louder a weapon is, the better damage and range it has. Orks that enjoy shooting often acquire Shootas and form up mobs of [[Shoota Boy]]z. Because of [[Mekboy|Mekboys]]z' constant struggle to outdo each other, shootas may vary in appearance, but they usually have comparable performance, unless they have 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]]^{{{Fn|1, }}{{Fn|3}}}

===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 a very slow rate of fire and their sidekick makes them unaccurate inaccurate even for Orks. Still, they are pretty loud and have a big, intimidating muzzle and so are still used by some Ork Boys.^{{Fn|3}}

===Blunderbuss===A '''Blunderbuss''' is a simple variation of a kannon, and they are ofthen often made from the wrecks of kannons, which backfired and burst their barrels. Blunderbuss A blunderbuss features a very short muzzle and uses shells made up of dosens dozens of pellets crammed together. When it fires , it gouts a cloud of ricocheting pellets, making it very easy to hit a target. However, it suffers from a short range, as pellets lose their hitting power very quickly. It's very cheap though, and so has its uses in Ork society.^{{Fn|3}}
