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.
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.
If they were they’d be a war crime.
It’s never a war crime the first time!

Rocket chainsaw were great fun to use in Serious Sam 4.
New Helldiver support weapon?
So, similar to Manhacks from Half-Life 2?
I was hoping this linked to an XKCD article that discusses the question. Answering the question optional.
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!

Brother!
I have no notes
You’ll shoot your arm off.
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.
You can balance it adjusting the rocket nozzle
an equal and opposite angular momentum
Idea: contra rotating chainsaws.
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.
If the chainsaw generates so much inertial that it challenges your trajectory, you’re doing something right.
nuh uh, make it laser guided
It’s like the opposite of a swordfish
That’s actually a good idea for a new fallout weapon
The bang saw
