Why chainsaw isn't used in military?

[Dawido]

They could make special model that could be used as melee weapon on close combat, like some kind of chainsaw-knife or mini-chainsaw.
It would be really effective against enemy

it is used in the military.

its not used in a combat application. a chainsaw jams very easily, and there is no reason to take a chainsaw into a close combat situation.

its used to clear obstacles.

They are but soldiers are made of iron

They are unreliable and too heavy to be practical in literally any application. And, yes, I use one regularly.

Why would you used a melee weapon in a gunfight?

[Balsover]

Your chainsaw would get jammed and stuck in the first guy you swung it into.

It would not work like a 40K Chainsword.

What makes you believe a chainsaw would be an effective weapon? I assume you probably don't even know how a team of SEALs cleans a room if you assume a chainsaw would work in that case, and really I'm just assuming you think it would work inside buildings which no it's quite useless.

There was one man who refused to give up using a sword in modern warfare and he even had a known kill using a bow.

Because armed sniper drones would always beat a person with a 3 foot max range.

Jack Churchill. Another man among men.

Also, read up on Joe Medicine Crow.

After spending the latter half of 1942 working in the naval ship yards in Bremerton, Washington, Medicine Crow joined the U.S. Army in 1943.[5] He became a scout in the 103rd Infantry Division, and fought in World War II. Whenever he went into battle, he wore his war paint (two red stripes on his arms) beneath his uniform and a sacred yellow painted eagle feather, provided by a "sundance" medicine man, beneath his helmet.[3]

Medicine Crow completed all four tasks required to become a war chief: touching an enemy without killing him (counting coup), taking an enemy's weapon, leading a successful war party, and stealing an enemy's horse.[6] He touched a living enemy soldier and disarmed him after turning a corner and finding himself face to face with a young German soldier:

The collision knocked the German's weapon to the ground. Mr. Crow lowered his own weapon and the two fought hand-to-hand. In the end Mr. Crow got the best of the German, grabbing him by the neck and choking him. He was going to kill the German soldier on the spot when the man screamed out 'mama.' Mr. Crow then let him go.[3]

He also led a successful war party and stole fifty horses owned by the Nazi SS from a German camp, singing a traditional Crow honor song as he rode off.[7][8]
