Chainsaw (Fallout: New Vegas)

The chainsaw is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A fusion-powered chainsaw which requires two hands to use. The weapon is heavy, but deals considerable damage because its continuous cutting action allows it to bypass Damage Resistance and Damage Threshold. Unlike most melee weapons, holding down the attack button when wielding the chainsaw will cause continuous damage to targets in contact with the blade.

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 melee weapons, such as the Ripper.

Durability
The chainsaw can successfully strike about 7995 times from full condition before breaking.
