===Armament===
Gargants have a special weapon location known as a "belly gun", which houses either a [[Gut Buster]] mega-cannon or a [[Snapper]] close assault weapon. The '''Smasher''' variant of the Gargant uses a Gut Buster while the Crusher employs a Snapper. The Snapper, like the Gut Buster , is a uniquely Ork weapon, and is actually two weapons in one, consisting of a pair of spiked metal jaws used in close combat, and a large [[melta-gun]] with a limited range. Snappers are powerful enough to bite through the armour of Titans, amputating legs{{Cite This}}.
A "standard" bipedal Gargant is normally around the height of a four-story building, if that building had several large guns and [[Kustom Force Field]]s bolted onto it. A typical Ork Gargant (if there can be such a thing) may field 2 or 3 [[Soopagun]]s - Titan-Killer equivalent ballistic weapons. It may also sport a small number of additional weapons, likely built into the chest or head sections. A massive Titan close-combat weapon may also be featured, likely a [[Mega-Choppa]]. Gargants with such choppy attachments are sometimes referred to as '''Slasherz''' or '''Slasher-Gargants'''{{Cite This}}.
