as i understand it ork weaponry doesn't work unless used by an ork. their gestalt psychic link provides them with some form of technokinesis that allows their weapons to work because orks believe they work. the imperium have been unable to divine how those weapons work because, to their understanding of science, they shouldn't work, and they don't, unless used by an ork.

as for yarrick's borrowed klaw, it's probably only orky on the outside, and all the gubbins will be good ol' fashioned imperial tech.

and while most ork weaponry can be bettered by imperial stuff, the shokk attack gun is unrivalled.....and very unpleasant :)
