[[File:Ork Deffgun.jpg|thumb|350px|Mek with a '''Beamy Deffgun'''{{Fn|4}}]]
'''Deffguns''' are heavy [[Ork ]] weapons, fine examples of the [[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 the Deffgun is fired.  They fire [[dakka ]] of extremely high calibre, rounds which easily smashing smash bikes and reliably penetrating penetrate transports' armour. Given their variable origins they may wary vary tremendously in properties in and appearance, but a typical Deffgun is is similar to an [[Imperial ]] [[Autocannon]], although much less predictable.  Meks often make some adjustments to the weapon during its construction - from viewfinders to recoil compensators or attaced attached [[Rokkit]]s ans and searchlights so no two Deffguns look the same, but two things are certain - It willsurely it will surely deafen its owner and spell a violent death to anyone in its crosshairs.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}  Two known variants (or rather classification groups) of Deffgun are the '''Shooty Deffgun''', which has an extremely high rate of fire and is mainly used against infantry ; and the '''Beamy Deffgun''' - , an energy weapon, often made from a 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 Meks can make it for them, but they can also be mounted on Ork [[Warkopta]]s.{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|5}}
