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}}

===Twin-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}}

===Blunderbuss===
A '''Blunderbuss''' is a simple variation of a kannon, and they are often made from the wrecks of kannons which backfired and burst their barrels. A blunderbuss features a very short muzzle and uses shells made up of 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}}
