Suggestion description
Ranged weapons are more powerful than hand to hand weapons. What makes them less effective is that you have to search for ammo, which makes you spend a lot of AP. Ammo also uses a lot of room in your inventory, keeping you from stocking on more useful supplies such as syringes and first aid kits. The chainsaw would work with the same system. First of all, you'd have to fill it with gas, and that would make it an "expansive" weapon, given that fuel cans have an encumbrance value of 10%, and are a lot more difficult to find than pistol clips or shotgun shells. Of course, fuel cans would only be good for a certain number of uses. I'd suggest 5 to 10 chainsaw hits per fuel can. The weapon should be at least as powerful as the shotgun (a 10 HP damage rate), but with a lower to hit percentage (i was thinking of 50%, like the knife, but it could be lower, due to the weight of the engine and everything...). I think this could be a great novelty for the game. Aren't chainsaws the ultimate zombie-killing machine?
