A bonebreaka's extra points cost and ability is basically made for them to get stuck in fast and hard as quickly as possible. Now that you no longer have to worry about stuff like in 7th ed where a weapon was mandatory to avoid being immobilized on the damage chart, ranged weapons for a bonebreaka is pretty much pointless, since you are either advancing them or charging, sometimes both if a Warboss on Warbike or Wartrike is within range of them. Big shootas as is are a waste of points if you can choose not to have them, I wouldn't bother. I would however either suggest the Forktress or Red Rolla kustom job upgrade, since the former will make it much more likely to get into enemy lines and survive without having to rely on outside support like the KFF, and the latter can give you much needed consistency for how many attacks you get on the charge.
