CHAINSAW

Everyone knows that the most fearsome weapon ever devised by man is wielded every day by syrup sipping, flannel-clad Cannucks. But the platform has always been limited by the gas motor: adverse conditions lead to boggy starts, bad fuel mixtures gumming up the guts, and of course the sheer heft of a gas powered chainsaw. Corded chainsaws also come up short. But enter the battery powered chainsaw. Fueled by a 12 amp-hour battery and weighing in at a mere 13 pounds, I think we have a model here that might actual be feasible in combat. What do you think, Jow Forums?

As long as flesh is sinewy then no.

Get a quality axe

It's not feasible if it loses to a gun every time.

sound is a problem. Also I think some guy with an axe has better reach. It's dangerous sure but I think in a direct comparison against any medieval carry weapons you miss out. That's without going at it without mentioning guns

The battery should be in a pouch or a backpack. The chainsaw could be shaped like a sword at that point.

It's really the motor that takes up the bulk of the weapon. The battery is abput the size of a box of animal crackers. Nice quads, btw.

How bady does flesh gum up a chainsaw chain? Have tests ever been carried out? Could you hook it up to some sort of super-oiler to keep the chain absolutely greased?

Yeah, but let's pretend this is a chainsaw only battle. Assume ypu've been dropped into the Canadian wilderness with only a Yeti full of ice cold maple-syrup, a red flannel shirt, and your trusty Milwaukee M18 FUEL Chainsaw with a few spare batteries. How do you think that would play out?

Carbide chains can cut through steel bars so probably wouldn't be stopped by anything inside a human.

It gums up and binds inside. Why do you think chainsaw chaps are made of long strands of tough fiber? It gets sucked up and wrapped around the fly wheel jamming it.

The Milwaukee chainsaw is pretty great but gas is better in any real application I'd have for it. The best gas chainsaws imo are Stihl and Echo products. Plus, most people don't seem to realize you can make the chainsaw more wieldy by using a different bar than the one that comes on it. The expensive part is the powerhead, but cutting through flesh shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Also, if you can't into /2stroke/, you need to learn. If you can't mix fuel or keep it up kept enough to start in the cold you're doing something wrong.

As a professional sawyer, this is some of the dumbest shit I've read in a long time.

That you, Pap?

Can't spell Cannuck's without cuck

The biggest barrier to a weapons chainsaw is the fact that any piece of metal can one-shot your chain. We would need to figure out a way for it to handle being struck by a steel pipe at full RPM before it could even be considered.

I think you're also forgetting about it recoiling.
You don't want the fucking thing bouncing towards you.

I think if anyone were really serious about it they could make a chainsaw designed to cut through human flesh with ease.

That said, this chainsaw really doesn't seem to have that much problem cutting through the guy's throat.

Yeah, chainsaws can do a good amount of damage to someone. But so can a sword or an axe, without a bunch of moving parts and power sources adding weight, bulk, torque and otherwise making it a lot harder to wield and a lot more likely to fail. If you absolutely have to use a fucking chainsaw then gas would be the way to go, because psychology is the one thing you have in your favor really, so you'd better get the loudest one.

No Pap here friendo

You know all modern day industrial cutting is done with a circular blade except for trees? Its not for no reason. One of these is better in every metric, they saw through metal as fast as a chainsaw saws through wood and without exaggerating cuts through concrete slabs thicker than your fucking body through the force of gravity alone. Have fun in 1920.

I second this

Is that a 460 with a half wrap bar...

What about a machine that won't gum up?
Hedge trimmers go back and forth cutting both ways. Not gonna jam like a chain.

Except I can't wield that effectively its got shit reach, it take a carbide chainsaw with a 28" bar any day

It doesn't cut unless you get the thing into the jaws tho, practically useless against anything thicker than a finger.

Guess you must be right. I mean that safety rail looks impossible to modify. Better stick with the memesaw circle jerk. No need for a reciprocating blade when cutting flesh. Just buy a butchers chain for your chainsaw. They make those. Right? Oh wait no that's stupid. But butcher blades are made for a sawzall.

I see what you mean, and in a weapon vs weapon fight the 30 percent length increase might matter but a chop saw will sail through concrete with so little resistance its like a light breeze is slowing the saw, to the point its startling and you aren't sure if you are actually cutting it. Furthermore I have irresponsibl'd with chainsaws and chopsaws swinging them at things and chop saws just have so much better "stick" and dont bounch off (actually chop stuff), the best test is on cinder blocks, where a light swing or letting gravity take the blade into the block will cut it guard-deep with 0 resistance like you sunk a knife in a tub of butter. I hope your chainsaw can compete with something that can cut like a lightsaber. Not that id know what a diamond encrusted unobtanium blade would even do to a person because the blades arent really exposed, and ive never exactly used a god tier chain saw, but I have used very large ones.

362c.
Bar's full wrap, the angle's just weird.

A hedge trimmer is not a sawzall. Not even close.
No need for special chain on a saw to cut meat you just use a clean bar and chain and switch to cooking oil for chain lube.

Yeah. That will solve tendons and sinew from binding the moving parts. Not to mention clothes. Well played.
Extra credit for not acknowledging a reciprocating blade vs a spinning blade.

Meat does not bind in a chainsaw. Neither do tendons, sinews, or other bits. Quite common to quarter moose and cows up here with a chainsaw. Regular clothes don't even slow them down.
Just because something has a reciprocating blade does not mean it cuts the same. A sawzall is a reciprocating saw while a hedge trimmer is a series of reciprocating shears. You actually have to fit the item to be cut into the cutouts on the stationary bar then the reciprocating bar can shear it.

The issue with those big chop saw it while they cut concrete like butter the abrasive disk has trouble with wet sludge like flesh. This is where something that is designed to cut and evacuate the debris is beneficial, the linear motion helps clear out all the shit, and tear and maim even more. Not to mention substantial weight savings. A 365 weighs like 10lbs with a 28" bar vs your semi mobile concrete saw that weighs at least 10lbs for the small disk ones.

>A 365 weighs like 10lbs with a 28" bar
lol the powerhead alone on a Stihl 36x weighs around 13lbs, homie.
is an 18lb saw and it has a light bar that weighs ~1/3 less than a standard bar.

Just kill Americans, they are full of olean and corn fat.

Damnit user I have no need for your common sense hard won by actual life experience. Where do you think you are.
Go be a bad ass outside. I'm internetting here.

There's a story of a guy who fought a cougar with one. Was not impressed with the ability to hurt said cougar.

That said, and regardless of how dangerous it is, people don't want to be around a madman charging in with chainsaw. I'd want a buddy (or wife) covering me with a rifle, but I can see a chainsaw encouraging a mob to take their rioting elsewhere.
