So just re-reading my Ork Codex and I noticed that in the Burna's description it says it may be used as a power weapon if not fired in the previous shooting phase.

Now if you've given a Big Mek a Burna it replaces his Choppa, leaving him with a Slugga (pistol) so to me that means that in PW mode it grants +1 attack.

This would mean that on the charge a Big Mek with a Burna gets 5x S5 I4 attacks that ignore armor (3 base +1 for CCW and pistol +1 for charging)

Anyone else read it this way?

**Fafnir**

Yep, that's exactly right.

**Dark Chaplain**

Yup i don't see any reason that this isn't the case. 5 attacks on the charge. But i wouldn't be throwing my big mek into combat unless the odds were vastly in my favor.

Well mine usually runs with a unit of Nobz and WB so he's got back up

Good to know!

Checking the ork codex, the burna's weapon profile (under the burna boyz entry pg45) does not specify that it is a 2H weapon in CC, so I would say you get +1A for 2 CCW. The bigger question is, why does your Big Mek still have a pistol and not something else??

**Kommissar Kel**

One small note: If you fire the Burna before the Charge it is not a power weapon and therefore not a Second single handed weapon; It is a Rifle-butt and as such a two-handed weapon.

Again this only occurs when you fire in your turn before you assault.

**Jidmah**

All above are correct.

Remember though, that both KFF and SAG need to be traded for the slugga, so you would most likely no longer have it.

awesome, I can have a bigmek that has a kick in CC without being overpriced
