Chainswords

(not to be confused with the Dai - Chain Sword)

are an old outdated but still very popular close combat melee weapon of the  United Stars Marine Corps. The Chainsword is essentially a sword with powered teeth that run along a single-edged blade like that of a chainsaw. Most versions of the weapon make use of monomolecular-edged or otherwise razor sharp teeth. The weapon makes an angry buzzing sound as the teeth spin around, intensifying into a high pitched scream as they grind into armor. It is not unlike a modern chainsaw, but lighter and able to be wielded with one hand. Orbital Assault Troops of the Army and Marines can chose this weapon as an additional piece of equipment and Chainswords are still fielded, developed and issued Many forces of the Union make use of it as a standard close combat weapon. Basic Chainswords are classified as Class III and legal to be carried by Civilians. The weapon is designed to quickly slice through an opponent. These swords are very crucial in melee combat, allowing easy swipes to behead or rip an enemy in two. Although it is not the most powerful of close-combat weaponry, it gets the job done. It would be very unusual to find a Union Marine without one.
