Questions that should have remained academic...Chainsaw vs Katana - Werehawk - 05-03-2012
Two Aussies finally answered that burning question of what would win a chainsaw or a Katana...
The winner of the debate in this occasion the chainsaw, with one extremely mangled arm and the loser a Katana with a cut finger...

(Open question though if sword was a Katana or some other Japanese sword though...As well as how skilled the swordsman was...)

this is a failure on multiple levels.
1) intelligence (they attempted this in the first place)
2) genetics (neither were rendered sterile)

Sword versus chainsaw - Rev Dark - 05-03-2012
Okay. This one I can give you a pretty good answer on.
First - they were both prats. The sort of idiots for whom anything more dangerous than string should kept on a high shelf.
Second. The prat with the sword did not have any skill.
A chainsaw is a two handed weapon, it has no real advantages in leverage, and a sever disadvantage in reach. It is slow in defense, and just as slow in offense. A katana is a two handed weapon with a great advantage in both reach, offense and defense. If the person wielding it had even a small modicum of training (and sparring experience), it would be a one sided match. The only advantage the chainsaw has that if it does connect, it creates horrific injury - and it has a certain amount of shock and awe associated with its use.
So what happened? I am going to go with the idiot with the sword engaged the blade of the chainsaw - hollywood stryle; rather than stepping bad and using the reach advantage. It was pushed by the chain which brought the right arm into range of the chain - ending the fight.

They need to have their heads examined.
Noise? Seriously?
Grabbing a chainsaw for self defense when your going and starting a fight? Contradiction.
He should have just called the cops, explain to them that they would attack him with bats and swords like the mom said, if he were to go and complain about the sound, (The fact that they know this, that means that they probably threatened the man with them before.) and asked them to do a silent run to prevent them from trying to avoid the cops.
If violence occurs as a result, then at least he would not be the one going to peoples homes with a chainsaw of all things. He would get threatened by his neighbors again, and he can call the cops again, especially if they managed to record it.
And Rev Dark is absolutely right. They are both idiots. They should not breed.
