Furthermore, the chainsaw motor is used to keep the Automail warm and prevent frostbite, which is important given that he works in the far north. It consists of a chainsaw that is part of a larger pincer, and allow him to dismantle other Automail limbs. Buccaneer in Fullmetal Alchemist has a Chainsaw Arm style of Automail, though his is actually more realistic than most examples here in function.Both of these obviously have similar problems to chainsaws when it comes to use as weapons.Įxamples of Chainsaw Good include: Anime and Manga While the trope name refers to chainsaws, it has mutated to include the use of circular saws and even lawnmowers as well.

While cool, there are good reasons the chainsaw is not exactly the first choice among melee weapons in the real world chainsaws are heavy and hard to swing with any degree of finesse, have poor reach compared to their weight, require fuel or an external power source, make a lot of noise, and will tear through the person wielding them just as cheerfully as the intended victim.Ĭhainsaws are also prone to a phenomenon called "kickback" where one tooth of the blade contacts something without cutting it and the resulting shock throws the blade backwards violently, often right at the unfortunate operator's head obviously, this is all the more likely to happen when they're being used as a weapon. Good here having the meaning of "totally unstoppable weapons of mass destruction." Nothing can stand before their roaring, multi-toothed might only death awaits any who challenge a chainsaw-wielding maniac.Ī favorite tool of horror villains and zombie hunters alike, where they're typically swung like swords. ![]()
