[[File:Ork Deffgun.jpg|thumb|350px|Mek with a '''Beamy Deffgun'''{{Fn|4}}]]
'''Deffguns''' are heavy shoulder-mounted Ork weapons, fine examples of Mek's craft that are made made from all kinds of materials, mainly scavenged heavy weaponry of other races. Deffguns are so large they must be mounted on a special firing rig strapped to to an Ork's broad shoulders. No man could hope to fit into a Deffgun's rig without heavy augmetics or thick slabs of vat-grown muscle. This cumbersome rig is needed to absorb bone-breaking recoil each time th Deffgun is fired. They fire dakka of extremely high calibre, rounds easily smashing bikes and reliably penetrating transports' armour. Given their variable origins they may wary tremendously in properties in appearance, but typical Deffgun is is similar to Imperial [[Autocannon]], although much less predictable. Meks often make some adjustments to the weapon during its construction - from viewfinders to recoil compensators or attaced [[Rokkit]]s ans searchlights so no two Deffguns look the same.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}} Two known variants (or rather classification groups) of Deffgun are '''Shooty Deffgun''', which has extremely high rate of fire and mainly used against infantry and '''Beamy Deffgun''' - energy weapon, often made from scavenged [[lascannon]] and very effective against against armoured targets.{{Fn|4}} Deffguns are mainly used in battle by [[Lootas]], who can gather enough heavy weapons so that Mek can make it for them, but they can also be mounted on Ork [[Warkopta]]s.{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|5}}
