Crazy cosplay time
I want to turn this into a chainsword.
Idea is to dissect the motorized parts for measurements and see how far I can push for a long (mostly wood or plastic) case to run the length of the blade, and still have a rotating chain that makes a sound like it should.

My suggestion just buy a hedge trimmer as that's gonna be a lot fucking easier.
>>48206235
Can you even bring such a thing around?

Alternative:
Get a toy chainsaw.
Mod that.bought one of these along with a not-nerf double-barrel shotgun for reasons that should be immediately apparent. Noise is actually pretty good without being insanely loud.

Don't make cosplay props out of actually lethal machinery.
As an engineer, don't. Just don't. The most you'll salvage is the belt and chain complex and you're better off buying a toy one and giving it some powerful motor as opposed to a kiddie one.

This is the worst idea anyone has had. The chainsaw will kill you if you do this. Do what >>48207457 says, or ask /diy/ for a solution that won't literally end up with you being a ridiculous news story

I can only applaud the ingenious stupidity of our weapon obsessed cousins.

Just leave the chain off. I remember on horror larp where a killer used a real chainsaw with just the chain removed. In the dark it was quite freaky to see some leatherface rip-off running around with a chainsaw blaring full throttle and waving it around.

/k/ here. If it's stupid, but it works, it's not stupid.

Well it didn't work as intended, so it was obviously stupid.
