== 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.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|2a}}
Because of [[Mekboy]]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}}

===KannonsTwin-linked Shoota===Ork [[Mekboy]]s can customize Shootas by adding an extra barrel for more firepower. These custom Shootas cost much more [[Teef]] and are usually used by [[Nob]]s or [[Warboss]]es. They are also often incorporated into [[Mega Armour]].{{Fn|2}} <center><gallery>File:Collectors TL Shootas.jpg|Twin-linked Shootas{{Fn|1}}</gallery></center> ===Kannon===
'''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 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}}
