==Etymology==
A chainsaw or chain saw is a portable, mechanical saw powered by electricity, compressed air, hydraulic power, or most commonly a gasoline two-stroke engine. Due to their mechanized reinforcement of use, chainsaws are capable of grinding down and dividing dense materials easier and quicker, and see their use mainly in timber felling, woodworking, and meatpacking.
While localized as Chainsaw, the weapon's Japanese name sometimes translates to spinning saw, and it is sometimes as a circular saw rather than a chainsaw.
