I was engaged in melee using an Ork Kommando (2 attacks) carrying a Burna and a Choppa. I used the Burna for its melee profile. The Choppa has in it's notes "Each time the bearer fights, it can make 1 additional attack with this weapon." There are two ways that this can be read:

1. The Kommando is fighting, and so gets an extra attack with the choppa i.e. 2 with Burna +1 additional with the Choppa, or
2. in order to get the +1 attack with the choppa, I need to already be attacking with it so would have 3 x Choppa attacks.

We rolled it out anyway and it wouldn't have made a difference, but would be interested in your take on it. Also, as a side question, given that I have 2 attacks naturally, can I use them separately, i.e. 1 x Burna and 1 (+1) with the Choppa?

You get two attacks base, which can be made with any available weapon. The choppa then gives you an additional attack that can only be made with the choppa.

So your options are:

Burna + burna + choppa
Burna + choppa + choppa
Choppa + choppa + choppa

That’s the way I read it. Thanks for confirming.
