I’ve always thought ork shooting was nerf’d simply by the low ballistic skill. That’s why we have big shootas and the like so the number of shots overcome the small chance of hitting.

I miss 1 of the best pieces of Ork gunnery ever… Get the “Hop-Splat-gun” back on the list!
It shoots a grenade with a ball attached to it by a piece of chain, and crosses the field rather random.
