Chainsaw



The Chainsaw is used as a major weapon by the Los Ganados, most notably Dr. Salvador, the Bella Sisters and Super-Salvador in Resident Evil 4 (Mercenary mode), and the Chainsaw Majini in Resident Evil 5.

Often considered the deadliest weapon in the game, and with very good reason. Its spinning blades allow for a clean cut through the body, making this a one-hit kill weapon. The Ganado/Majini will always take advantage of its use, often going for a decapitation kill (in the Japanese version of RE4, Dr. Salvador does a deep shoulder cut with a lot of blood spatter, still a one-hit kill). The Chainsaw in Resident Evil 5 is a little different from the one in Resident Evil 4. The blade on the chainsaw seem to have thorn-shaped teeth sticking from the chain. This is quite unusual as the teeth would easily jam in the chain mechanism.

In the Mercenaries minigame in RE4, there is a game scenario, the waterworld scenario, out of the four you can choose when Super-Salvador comes with a double-bladed Chainsaw. He can jump to great heights and this Chainsaw can kill you much faster than normal Dr. Salvador's.
