A Zzap Gun crewed by two Grots.³

A Zzap Gun is a powerful yet unreliable energy cannon created by the Orks. Classified under the category of Big Guns, it is essentially a wire-bound tube with a powerful generator at the back end of it. Although potent, its power is determined by the willpower of the grot firing the weapon, as its firing lever also electrocutes the Gretchin firing it.²

The Zzap Gun represents the pinnacle of Ork technological advancement. An extremely powerful weapon, the Zzap gun serves a role not dissimilar to Lascannon of the Imperium of Man in that it fires concentrated beams of energy effective against vehicles. Albeit powerful, the Zzap gun suffers from the common maladies of all Ork weapons and as such can vary to have such devastating power that it is stronger than anything in the Imperium, but can also be impotent enough to barely singe a Gretchin.¹ Interested as to how the Orks were able to acquire such technology, the Imperium once monitored a Mekboy constructing a Zzap gun. Yet when he was interrogated, the Imperials found that the knowledge for creating it was innate to the Ork race.¹
