I don't know why I missed it, but the chainsword entry says: "M37 Gas-fuel motor block"
Again, entry is only for that particular style of chainsword, but continues to support the theory that there are lots of variant power sources for chain weapons.

You have to remember that chainswords aren't just used by men in power armor but by regular humans as well. I think a battery is the most logical.

I would have thought that chainswords are powered by whatever is practical for the user. For example, it might be more practical to have a battery powered chainsword for a Guardsman, whereas the bigger, beefier marine chainswords have a mixture of promethium and electricity as their power supply. Don't know if this is correct, mind you.

I think he was saying that holstering a chainsword in a standard sheeth would be a bad idea cos it would cut through the sheeth and just cut through your leg, however he also appears to have forgotten there is an off button.

IN SHORT:
Some run on gas.
Some run on electricity.
Some run on souls.
Some run because Orkz think they should.
Some run on the blood of people who overcomplicate the simple question of how you power a sharp spinny thing.
But really, I'm all for the theory that chainswords don't turn off. Nothing says "badass" like walking around with a live chainsword writhing about on your hip.

I don't see anyone overcomplicating the question of how you power a sharp spinney thing. You could say some of us overcomplicated the answer to the question, but even that I would disagree with.
All I see is a group of people discussing background in the background forum in order to find out the answer to the question posed by the OP. We found the answer(s), you regurgitated the answer, and for some reason felt the need to criticize that despite the result being what the OP asked for.

So, I was in this place people call the mall a while back. And I had the urge to expel some bad spirits. As I went into the bathroom, I chose the urinal closes to the corner so I could have some privacy. So I whip out Lord Pevincy and let him loose the bad spirits. Well, I was looking at the wall as the Lord was expelling the spirits and I seemed to have gotten distracted. Turns out, I missed a little.
SO I'm sitting at my computer right, and I have a Coke, Bottled mind you. But it got warm, so I got a Coffie cup and I filled it with the coke and some Ice and I sipped as I did my internet stuff. So like and hour passed and I hadn't sipped any of it. and when I go to sip it, I notice that something solid is in it. So I'm like, "No, why would there be something solid in my coke?" SO I pull these solid THINGS off my tongue and guess what they are? F ING ANTS! I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so I ran into the Kitchen coughing and what not and I threw those little bastards down the drain with a flood of hate and cold water.......those bastards are lucky I don't have my Nucians yet!!! |
