Editing Deffkoptas (section)

== No, but seriously ==

A Deffkopta is an [[Ork]] flying device resembling a crude helicopter or gyrocopter built to seat one (the pilot) and carry a set of underslung weaponry, generally [[Twin-Linked_Shoota|Twin-Linked Big Shootas]], a [[Grenades & Explosives#Bigbomm|Bigbomm]] or [[Kopta Rokkits|Kopta Rokkits]]. The vehicle usually has additional rocket thrusters installed on it to aid the velocity-addicted greenskin manning it to get his nonexistent rocks off even harder than already possible, notwithstanding how senseless jamming rockets onto a helicoper is (unless they're the shoot-at-the-other-guy kind, or if it is in fact a gyrocopter in which case some form of forward-thrusting engine is completely necessary, which just goes to show how much the writers here know about real life hardware). Some daring flyboys go so far as to modify their rawket lawnchair with a [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Killsaw|chainsaw or rotary saw blade]] sticking out the bottom to driveby-slit-up gits with or even their own [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Spinnin' Blades|rotor blades]] to mulch men into tomatoe juice, unheeding of the danger of snagging it on something and then slamming face-first into the ground. It is the logical extension of the average Kult of Speed fanatics' MO and one would not at all be wrong to think of it as essentially being an airborne Waaaghbike, sometimes even being constructed from the remains of one [[Looted|(though that doesn't mean much with Orks anyway)]].

So it came to pass that in the 41st millenium, as the [[Imperial|Humans]] were rocking a transport craft that was the [[Valkyrie#In_Warhammer_40000|Mil Mi-24 Hind in design, carrying capacity, combat role, and armament, if not in name]], the Orks were still the only ones with any actual helicopters. Well, sort of. Gyrocopters of one kind or another make several appearances in the literature, but these are almost exclusively for civilian and non-combat roles, so rather, the Orks are the only ones that still fly helicopters into battle.
