Orks with Deffgunz.
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.
They fire dakka of extremely high calibre, rounds which easily smash bikes and reliably penetrate transports' armour. Given their variable origins they may vary tremendously in properties and appearance, but a typical Deffgun is similar to an Imperial Autocannon, although much less predictable.
Meks often make some adjustments to the weapon during its construction - from viewfinders to recoil compensators or attached Rokkits 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.

The Deffgun is very loud, upon firing it will incur a 50+ to anyone attemtping to hear it, firer, unless in power armour or using appropriate ear protection, MUST succeed a toughness test or wil be permanently deafened.
†Ork equipment is technically difficult to get hold of – after all, no right–minded Imperial arms trader would sell xenos technology, no matter
how crude. Unofficially, there are parts of the Calixis Sector where it is much more plentiful, especially areas recently attacked by Orks. For
this reason, via legitimate routes it counts as scarce, but via black market channels it is common.
For some unkown reason, which even the Orks are not aware of, these weapons is not Unreliable in the hands of an Ork.
