"Dakka: Ork slang for rapid fire capability, based on the onomatopoeia for
automatic guns shooting. You need moar of it. No exceptions."

  The weapon has been described like this:

"This is the kind of gun they used to put planes on. It wasn't a case
of 'Oh, we got this jet fighter, it kinda needs something besides
missiles and bombs and shit, let's strap this thing on'. NO. It was a
case of a guy making a gun SO awesome, that he just stepped back, and
said, 'This shit needs to fly'. And everyone else is like, 'You cant
make a gun fly!'. And the first guy is all like, 'Fuck you, yes I
can. I will strap a plane to this gun.' And everyone's like, 'You mean
strap the gun to a plane?' And the first guy is like, 'No, man. I am
strapping the plane to the gun. The plane is an accessory.' And then
everyone's minds were blown. Like, there was some serious mind blowing
going on there. Ears were bleeding. Synapses just went an committed
suicide because it was so awesome."
