| | #REDIRECT [[Shootas'an Dakkas#Ork Gunz]] |
| Da [[Orks]] love their [[Choppa]]s, make no mistake about that. But they also love putting lots of holes into [[Imperial Guard|Gaurdsmen]], [[Eldar|Elfdar]], Marines (both of the Spikey and Non Spikey varieties) and Nids at a distance while making allot of noise. Thats why they have their Gunz.
| |
| | |
| == General Ideas ==
| |
| *1: Typically Ork made Gunz are chemical burning projectile weapons firing ork scale metal slugs. Simple but effective. Its not that they have anything against other forms of guns, but they can easily make these in large numbers and they work well enough for an ork.
| |
| *2: You can never have enough Dakka, cart around as many guns as possible to get as much lead and steel in the air as possible to win the day and have a hell of a time in doing so.
| |
| *3: As far as qualities go that Orks desire in a gun, accuracy is typically low on the list.Somewhere between sleekness of design and standardization.
| |
| *4: Ork Guns are kept working in part by a passive psionic field that Orks generate which keeps their machinery working. They tend to jam and explode if a non-Ork uses them.
| |
| *5: Ork guns are heavily built to make them more resistant to damage, as well as the fact that it makes them good for bashing enemies with in close up brawls.
| |
| *6: As a general rule, the bigger you are the better the gunz you can get your mitts on.
| |
| *7: All of our gunz are Assault, fuck that "move or shoot" shit.

| |
| === Grot Blasta ===
| |
| Grots are often herded into battle by their masters to soak up some fire and provide diversions. To make them slightly more likely to survive they often cobble together or are given small and (even by ork standards) simple pistols and shotguns to bring into battle known as Blastas. Against most foes, this makes them more annoying that anything, but at least (for the grots) they are able to be annoying and score the odd kill at a distance instead of up close where they run the risk of getting squished.
| |
| === Sluggas ===
| |
| A simple automatic pistol with a bore diameter in the area of 30mm and the most common Ork gun you might find, allowing these primitive contraptions (comparable to rough modern firearms) to match the power of the Imperial [[Lasgun|flashlight]]. Usually low ranking Orks have one of these, blasting at their targets as they close in to hack them to bits, as well as pistol whipping their enemies in close quarters.
| |
| | |
| === Shootas ===
| |
| An Ork Rifle, fully automatic used to spray and pray (going easy on the latter bit) and are not the most accurate weapons to begin with. As Orks like to travel in big groups, this is less of a concern than one might think it would be because of sheer volume of fire they bring to bear. Some are belt fed, others are magazine fed, its all good to the orks wielding them. Their increased size also allows them to stick some blades on the end, meaning they got something both choppy and shooty in one nice package. They often look and function like a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_08 Spandau machine gun].
| |
| | |
| === Big Shootas ===
| |
| Big Shootas are put onto vehicles, in clustered stationary mounts, or carried by Orks that have an obsession with having the biggest, loudest and most destructive shootas possible. They are heavy caliber weapons even by Ork standards used to saturate the enemy with as much heavy fire as possible.
| |
| | |
| === Burnas ===
| |
| Not so much a gun as a furious campfire, the Burna is the Ork answer to a need for a [[Flamer]]. Given to [[FAIL|pyromani-orks]], these weapons are devastating, especially if wielded en-masse (and they always are). They are also explosive due to the huge backpack full of [[meme|propane and propane accessories]] that the wielder needs to fuel the weapon. Burnas can also be used to cut and fuse metal, giving a practical use to those Orks who love to see their fellows "do the burny dance." This also helps against armored foes, go figure.
| |
| | |
| === Stikk Bomb ===
| |
| Not a gun, but still worth mentioning. An overgrown ork hand grenade, built in a similar manner to a German stick grenade. Big enough to hit enemies with in close combat but this usually makes the 'nade go off in the Ork's hand, killing both him and whoever he's hitting.
| |
| | |
| === Rokkit Launchas ===
| |
| Nothing more than sticks with rockets and blast shields on one end and a trigger on the other. They have a very short range compared to other races' missiles, but Orks never do anything halfway, so they come on the cheap. Mounted on all Ork vehicles and carried by Tankbustas.
| |
| | |
| == 'eavy Gear ==
| |
| === Skorchas ===
| |
| The Burna's bigger brother, the Skorcha is mounted on Ork vehicles or attached to Nobs' Shootas. Usually paired with a huge tank of fuel, the weapon is used to burn down slow infantry or harassing bikers. Powerful enough to wreck lightly armored vehicles as well, but Orks like the thrill of leaving burning wakes of flailing bodies too much to think of such a thing.
| |
| | |
| === Deffguns ===
| |
| Heavy automatic cannons built from alien technology, too many teef, or usually both. These provide most of the Ork's ranged firepower, and therefor deafen the wielder. These guns buck, spark, spin and flask like no other, and are the second-deadliest infantry-portable Ork weapon.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Da Big Stuff ==
| |
| === Kannons ===
| |
| Exactly what you think they are. Except not. Kannons come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and calibers, but most common of all designs is the short-barreled, high-caliber breach-loader. The kannon actually serves the same function to Orks as the Missile Launcher does to the Imperium, capable of firing a solid shell or penetrating explosive for vehicle busting, or a canister shot or fragmentation shell to tear up infantry. Too heavy to be carried by even an Ork, these metal beasts are usually mounted on vehicles or artillery wagons, and have a longer reach than the Rokkit Launcha.
| |
| | |
| === Lobbas ===
| |
| Essentially a big metal pot jammed with gunpowder and a bomb, usually in that order. The Lobba serves as an Orkish mortar, and is favored by Grot artillery crew for being able to kill things without the enemy having to see you. The huge recoil it generates relegates it to be mounting on vehicles or artillery carts. It is powerful, but most armor will deflect its blast.
| |
| | |
| === Zzap Guns ===
| |
| A unique piece of technology crafted by energy-loving Mekboyz, a Zzap gun is a rough approximate to a Lascannon. Roughly. The gun consists of a metal barrel covered in wires, a capacitor, and a power source. The crew use a lever (which electrocutes the user) to determine the charge built up in the capacitor before firing a literal lighting bolt at the target. The gun defies all know physics, and the power supply is so heavy that it must be mounted. The unpredictable effectiveness of the weapon deters some Warlords from using it, but if Lady Luck smiles upon your green, hairless hide, you might be able to bring down Land Raiders.

| | |
| == Kustomisations ==
| |
| === Twin-Linked ===
| |
| When an Ork feels that his gun just isn't loud or killy enough, he'll get the nearest Mek to weld on another barrel and make it shoot twice the dakka. That both barrels are still fed from a single magazine doesn't overly bother anyone.
| |
| | |
| === Kombi-Weapons ===
| |
| If an Ork wants his gun to shoot different types of dakka he'll nail, tape or weld on another gun (like, say, a Skorcha or Rokkit Launcha).
| |
| | |
| == Looted Stuff ==
| |
| Ork use all of the crap that they swipe off dead enemies, especially their guns. No matter the foe, every Ork and Grot in the warband swarms the battlefield post-fight to pick up the best gubbins for themselves. Deff Skulls especially enjoy this practice (as well as stealing the best bits from the enemy beforehand, and from their buddies later). When an Ork either can't use the weapon, wants it tricked out, or feels that the gun would look better [[awesome|strapped into a shoulder mount with twelve of its companions]], they take it to the local Mekboy along with a pocketful of teef. The Mekboys takes the guns and customizes them to their desires.
