Chainsaws

Chainsaws are a special type of Axe that exist largely in Hardmode and can be used as an effective weapon. Much like the Muramasa and other fast-swinging swords, Chainsaws can deal very large amounts of damage quickly, but trade off the wide arc of such weapons for the ability to be pointed in any direction. Oddly enough, none of the chainsaws (not even the Drax or the Chlorophyte Chainsaw) match the Molten Hamaxe and its 150% axe power*, but, from Palladium and on, they are able to cut down trees faster due to the rapid rate at which they hit the tree.


 * As of 1.3.0.1, the Butcher's Chainsaw is the only chainsaw to tie with the same axe power as the Molten Hamaxe.

The best prefix for any chainsaw and the Drax would be Godly, as they cannot obtain a modifier that affects size or speed.
