Normally used to chop down trees in a civilian setting, the Chainsaw has been modified with a longer blade and attached to a trooper with a shoulder-and-hip strap arrangement (assuming, of course, that the trooper has shoulders or hips). This allows for rapid swinging of the weapon. Needless to say, this is a close combat weapon with almost no range but outstanding damage output. Soldiers using this device are screened to make sure they are not squeamish, for the results of using the Chainsaw under combat conditions can be quite messy.
