The chainsaw mutilates enemies close enough to contact. At 525 hits per minute, it is roughly a quadruple-speed fist.
In original Doom, if a player has a chainsaw, they cannot switch back to fists unless they have a berserk pack.
The chainsaw can be obtained via the cheat code idchoppers (and, in some source ports, idfa or idkfa).
It is considered to be most effective against Demons and Spectres. Some players, when confronted by a pack of Demons and Spectres, back into a corner and chainsaw them down one by one.
Notes
The chainsaw graphics are based on scans of a real chainsaw named Eager Beaver (borrowed by Tom Hall from his girlfriend).
Due to a limitation of the game engine, the chainsaw does not penetrate the enemies; instead, it brushes against their surface, causing the player to become intermittently 'glued' to the target.
