Orks are definitely the only species this would ever work for.
Although I'm surprised they don't just make a gun that fires smaller guns that also fire bullets which themselves fire bullets... that explode.
You should check out Enter the Gungeon.
Everyone should check out Enter the Gungeon.
Choppa shoota’ or shoota’ choppy?
Mork said iz good, make it work!
You would need an equal and opposite angular momentum at the back of the chainsaw otherwise it will just rotate upwards and loop around in circles.
If the chainsaw generates so much inertial that it challenges your trajectory, you're doing something right.
an equal and opposite angular momentum
Idea: contra rotating chainsaws.
You can balance it adjusting the rocket nozzle
just enough rotational velocity to counter gravity trying to pull the nose of the missile down though. and also the centripetal momentum of the chain would act like a gyro stabilizer insuring that it remains nominally upright.
You'll need more mass in those teeth.
Depleted uranium chain saw teeth.
The real one deploys blades that cause the missile to spin at very high speeds before it slices through its targets like butter without an explosion
nuh uh, make it laser guided
Yes
Groovy
40 horsepower??? Holy shit are you trying to cut titanium?
It's an anti-tank weapon.
This meme is so old it can legally drive at this point
I bet you're so old you can drive too
(gottem)
nuked
What if you put chainsaws on a Hellfire missile to replace the blades.
I genuinely don't think that would make a difference. No matter which version of those you get hit by a direct strike is going to turn you and your immediate surroundings into salsa. May as well save the construction costs.
You'll shoot your arm off.
That’s actually a good idea for a new fallout weapon
The bang saw
New Helldiver support weapon?
Every 40k author is tearing up their manuscript right now and starting afresh,
...the screaming chainsaw missile tore through the mid-morning air, the astartes all laughed as it sliced though half a squad of guardsmen as they ate breakfast...
Serious Sam 4 has a secret RPC weapon you can find if you preordered the game or enable it with cheats. It's as broken as it is fun.
Hellfire R9X

What the fuck
I was hoping this linked to an XKCD article that discusses the question. Answering the question optional.
Dr. Bright wants to know your location.
Fun concept but if only starting a gas powered chainsaw were that easy...
#rimworld needs this as a mod

Rocket chainsaw were great fun to use in Serious Sam 4.
Only if they can reach mach 5
I'm all for it as long as it can make a conventional cut and a Humboldt cut. I'm assuming it can make plunge cuts.
That's my reminder to check for a new Chainsaw Man chapter
Honestly, I see circular saws/blades as more horrifying
Brother!
So, similar to Manhacks from Half-Life 2?
I think the propelling force of the rocket would far overpower the cutting power of the chainsaw, making a sharp, pointy object instead more useful.
And at least make the rockets hovering, like in the shortfilm Ruin.
It's like the opposite of a swordfish
Spinning blade would cause some gyroscopic issues
