Slugga

An Ork Slugga - Good for close-range killin'

A Slugga is a hand-held, short-ranged, Ork projectile weapon. It is usually paired with a Choppa for melee combat, and mobs of Boyz who carry the two are called "Slugga Boyz."

Due to the ramshackle nature of Ork weaponry, every Slugga is different, but most if not all Sluggas are semi-automatic, large-calibre, ballistic side arms.

Though not as sophisticated as most other weapons used in the Imperium, Sluggas are no less effective than other, more advanced side arms when used correctly.

However, as far as the melee-focused Ork holding it is concerned, the effectiveness of a Slugga is of little importance, as long as it is big and makes a loud noise when it fires.
