Allt his talk about chainsaws and characters named Chainsaw reminded me
of a player request. The player in question saw ARMY OF DARKNESS one
too many times, and would like to acquire a chainsaw (not necessarily as
a weapon focus, but certainly as a weapon). I coulda sworn I saw stats
for one of these things written up somewhere, but I can't for the life
of me remember where. I was thinking it might have been in one of the
NERPS books, or maybe NAGEE. Anyone remember what I'm talking about?
If not, has anyone come up with one of these things? I'd appreciate it
if someone could either post stats or a reference. Thanks.

Rules for chainsaws appear in a number of places both on the net and off.

For example, there was an article in an issue of Ka*Ge, which had
chainsaws and rules for them. I don't know which issue, though, because I
only read through some of them once, about 3 1/2 years ago.

There also are some thing about chainsaws in some of the Plastic Warriors
books, to be precise Blackhand's Street Weapons 2057 (stats) and Paranoid
Animals of North America (rules).

NERPS: Underworld has an article with common tools, and it also includes
chainsaws, but unfortunately no rules for their effects when applied
against people.

Knew someone would have something. Figured it would have been one of
the NERPS books or some such. Thanks for the pointer.
