No questions on why. Which one is better?

Dragons Tooth Nanoswords!

Dragon tooth too ^^
But I prefer teh Railgun sword with teh railgun blade !!
Just cutting people like a chainsaw with the energy wrath
It's hard to vote I like both

Chainswords.

Or Lightsaws

*shakes head undecided*
It's got to be chainsaws... if you want something like a lightsaber get a WH40k power weapon...

Raziel

P.S CHAINFISTS!

According to 40K light sabers are better, but vary expensive, besides I like standard issue gear better, you get more of a “man of the people feel.”

Personally I think we could have a good bunch of "original swords"

There is a
-Chainsword
-Lightsaber
Laser saber
Plasma saber
Photon saber
-Trimmersword
-Railsword
-Lightningblade
-Antimattersaber
-Nanosword
-Drillblade
-Flamesword

and maybe more

An antimatter saber would annihilate itself as soon as it turned on.

Rocket-propelled Chainsaber, fired from an AH9999.

Chainsaw, but I would prefer a sledgehammer, really. Sure, harder to hit with, slower, and usually vulnerable shaft. Still, to sweep it across a room and crush someone's head is quite satisfying.

YES.

I wold create a Rocket propelled Chainwingsaw and a Rocket Propelled Driller

Whats an example of a Chainsaw like device?

Well, it if looks like a chainsaw, operates like a chainsaw, and sounds like a chainsaw, it's probably a chainsaw.

I'd take a polesaw over a regular chainsaw anyways. But... then again, it'd be a helluva lot easier to cut down a tree with a lightsaber. Just gotta make sure with either you never touch the wrong part of the things!

not if it was built correctly... instead of the main blade being made of antimatter it would have thousands of photons trapped within the blade and when a trigger is pulled it would release said photons which would turn into a matter and antimatter quark or particle... due to it annihilating as soon as it leaves the blade it would only be useful for melee attacks...
I don't think Derak had this in mind when he came up with his theory XD (spelled wrong... probably)


um... one which is not a chainsaw, but is like a chainsaw... tricky...
Chainfist? (WH40k referance)
hedge trimmers?
conveyor belts?

P.S No offense meant Sergeant Kelly... just thinking of ways in which it could work...

A chainsword or light sabers are chainsaws even the nanosword and such weapons (pretty much all weapons I mentioned in my list)
They are just transposed in a different manner and have some different effects, forms, weight and technology
The got some similarities and are all cousins

in fighting styles they are completely different...
as a chainsaw is like... well... kinda unique in fighting style...

and an lightsaber is like a zweihander or rapier depending on which movie/book/game you refer to...
*shakes head to wake self*
Anyhoo which did you go for?

Mal

P.S sorry if you have already said... I'm kinda only half awake...

The chainsaw itself is unique because it's heavy and have a particular handling, but the other weapons can be used as chainsaws they can cut without to apply a great force or swing every time you can run and everything you touch with the weapon's blade is damaged

Of course a lightsaber is superior to a chainsaw, but it's less satisfying to kill someone in such a clean way. In starwars it seems as if the blade even disintergrates the blood spillt, thus making it rather dull.

A chainsaw also got that terrifying roar, and looks meaner. Sure, the lightsaber can cut through walls, but is actually horrible at blocking ranged attacks- the projectiles must be very slow, and weapons such as lasers (actual beams, not sci-fi bolts), crossbow bolts and bullets would be impossible, a shotgun or flamethrower would be devastating.
The chainsaw could possibly block a bullet, on the expense of it working afterwards, however this is requires good reflexes and strength, and it would be a fantastic feat to pull off.

Lightsabers are superior, sure, the chainsaw user would get his weapon cut in half by the lightsaber, but as chainsaw users tend to, he would probably draw a sawed-off shotgun instead and win anyway.

and also if the lightsaber wielder cut the chainsaw in half then he would get covered in molten metal and the rest of the chain would be propelled at the lightsaber wielder... in short both would die...

CHAINSAWS!

P.S *shrugs*

What is a zweihander?

It's basically a big sword, like a claymore.

Oooooooh OK thanks
