Yeah, using a chainsaw as the main weapon/mode isn't really the most practical thing. But one thing I could definitely see is a Sword, or an Axe, with a chainsaw mode.

A sword is miles more practical than a slow and bulky chainsaw that requires you to slowly ravage the enemy with it if you really wanna do some nasty damange (which would make you an easy target. Hell, even in Gears of War it makes you an easy target).

But by adding a chainsaw mode to a sword, you get a weapon that doesn't have most of the cons while still having some pros, such as making the weapon much more effective when it's clashing against something or after stabbing something with it.
