Chainsaw (GRA)

The Chainsaw (GRA) is a weapon $$

Gameplay
The Chainsaw is powered by a miniature nuclear battery that drives a toothed chain along a grooved bar at up to 8,000 RPM. This allows the sharp teeth to shred virtually anything they come into contact with. It differs from its standard variant in that it can accept modifications.

Special attack
It has a special Scrap Heap attack, which does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. but at the cost of 20 less action points.

It is not possible to execute Scrap Heap outside of V.A.T.S., as power attacks do not apply to continuously damaging weapons, such as this weapon and Ripper.

Durability
The Chainsaw (GRA) can successfully strike about 7,995 times, or 11,995 times when equipped with the HD Chain, from full condition before breaking.

Bugs

 * Due to an engine bug, the Ignore DT/DR effect does not apply correctly and because of this, Piercing Strike gives a marked improvement in DPS.
 * The Chainsaw (GRA) is erroneously set to use the low-res third-person textures in first-person, and even with the Alloy Frame modification, the normalmap is still the low resolution version.
