It means nothing really its just the [spoiler]sound of a Bolter report translated into words Dakka Dakka is the sound of a space marine who is quite angry at you for getting your heretic blood on his favorite piece of armor thats how you know your life is about to be ended when you hear that noise

I always thought it was just what orcs shouted when shooting. Kind of like making a bang bang sound when you have a finger pistol.. I also thought it was the imagination and yelling the sound that actually made the guns fire.

Oh! I always thought it creepy when the redshirts went arount shouting DAKKADAKKA at the top of their lungs! Being Australian, i thought they might be referring to shorts (some aussies call them 'dacks').

On a serious note, even the noobiest ork player knows that all guns go dakka. And red makes things go faster.

Ummmmm actualy in fact you could all be wrong from what i know and this is in fact just an idea but what if its latin because dak means large or big and ka(or kae)means weapon also in the 5th ed ork codex it refers to a)what a grate fight this will be or b)it means anyone who believed any of this reply shoudnt be allowed near scicors without adult supervision

Just reply to my posts for the love of the emperor i will give you an e cookie of any kind just please reply i hate talking to myself i am in fact doing it now aren't i oh well.

Yup, you've cracked it. They're big on their Latin, are Orks.
