Some shoppas are nore advanced than the others and feature a chain mechanism. Known as chain-choppas they are basically crude Ork equivalents of other races' [[chainsword]]s or [[chain axe]]s. These weapons are more effective than normal choppas as long as they still function and the user remembers to turn the chain mechanism on. However, despite their ease of manufacture, these weapons require some maintenance that Orks are often too lazy to provide. Therefore chain-choppas, especially those with chain-teeth made from the alien ‘ivory’ of an Ork’s own sharpened fangs, are especially vulnerable to losing weapon's 'teeth'. Other issues such as fuel consumption and the speed with which they get blunted against enemy armour make many Orks choose good old choppas as their weapon of choice, although chain-choppas are inarguably deadly in combat - once their teeth even graze flesh, their motorised bite hooks deeper and saws through muscle, sinew and bone with the same, surgical ease. Wounds inflicted by these weapons are equally horrifying as the weapons turn bodies into uncauterised, mangled mass of flesh.{{Fn|12}}
