'''Deffguns''' are heavy [[Ork]] weapons, fine examples of the [[Mek]]'s craft that are 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 the Deffgun is fired.
Meks often make some adjustments to the weapon during its construction - from viewfinders to recoil compensators or attached [[Rokkit]]s and searchlights so no two Deffguns look the same, but two things are certain - 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 armoured targets.{{Fn|4}} , although countless other variants like '''Plasma Deffgun'''{{Fn|6}}{{Fn|8}} are also known to exist. Deffguns are mainly used in battle by [[Lootas]], who can gather enough heavy weapons so that Meks can make it for them, but they can also be mounted on Ork [[Warkopta]]s.{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|5}}
