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|3b}}{{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 "[[Ork Weapon Upgrades|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}}
