Shooty

"Shooty" is Warhammer 40,000 player slang to describe a unit or army that is designed around ranged engagement rather than close combat. Tau armies in particular are typically shooty armies, since they have very powerful ranged weaponry but are poor at mêlée. The Imperial Guard are also sometimes considered a shooty faction, because their flashlights do more damage then their shitty melee.
