The killkannon is strength 7. 7 + 6 =...? (hint, it's not 14)
Ordnance does not use both die results.

Yeah, the Kill-Kannon is one of the parts of the Ork Codex that made me go "WTF?"

It's not completely bad... ap3 especially is tempting, and means it usually kills all the MEQs it can hit on a 2+ wound.
But the cost, range, poor BS, transport limitation, fact that it isn't a boomgun... it all sort of sours the deal. I just can't figure out why it isn't a dang boomgun instead.

The AP3 is tempting. I could care less about the range. But they'd taken the Ordnance type from Kannons and downgraded it so it couldn't hurt AV14. Back in the day Ork vehicles had Battlecannons. A Rg24" Battlecannon would have been good. I would have preferred it if they made Kannons S8 AP3 Ordnance Blast 1. But for some reason they made Kannons Heavy and made up Kill-Kannons.
