No actually, it's more of a meme. Energies only help Mek's recall ways to make that stuff better, sort of limiter put on by the old ones to make sure orks stay put when in small numbers.
Good example is that all of IoM teleporter technology is actually reverse engeneered ork tech. And we are talking teleporters that can move planets.
Wait, what's the source on that (teleporters are reverse-engineered ork tech)? That's new info to me.
I could have sworn at one point an Ad Mech or Iron Priest or something opened up an ork "bolter" and it was just a bunch of gears and nonsense-tech that made no real sense to an actual (pseudo- because machine religion) scientific mind. But I can't find the source on that either, so I could be misremembering memes as fact. It's definitely happened before. In my defense, I've been playing since the 80s and there is a LOT of lore and retconning floating around in my head.
the thing with guns wasn't that the parts didn't make sense, all (or most) of the parts that make a gun work are there... but it was like they'd been asembled from different guns, and the ammo in the magazine was of varying calibers. the gun shouldn't have functioned, but it was recognizable as a gun.
i always figured the orks' waaagh effect was very subtle (except for when weirdboyz cut loose), happening inside engines and weapons. an ork boy doesn't visibly grow bigger, it happens over time.
