The problems with that gun include that there is no place to put the cartridge, lots of blood would quickly break the chainsaw, and storing gasoline in an assault rifle... well... you're a big boy, figure it out.  :P

Doesn't it need a stock?
Also this.

But then again, it's a gun. With a chainsaw. A chain-saw gun! *Glee*

The thing sticking out the back is the stock.
The magazine goes in the box behind the chainsaw.
The chainsaw itself is obviously designed to handle blood and gore.
The chainsaw also doesn't run on gasoline.
In the series, it runs on imulsion, which doesn't exist here.
However, the gun is big enough that enough space could be set aside for batteries and such. Not sure how effective that would be, but it might work.
We must build this gun!

The M16 when originally introduced to soldiers as a replacement for the M14 in Vietnam was one of the worst rifles in the world, due to a number of factors, but the biggest one being:

1. Soldiers were not supplied with cleaning kits as the military were convinced that the rifle was so reliable it didn't need to be cleaned. (Yes, I'm dead serious.)
2. At the time the US' smokeless powder was coarse and while it worked fine in the M14 tended to foul up the receiver and bolt, causing stoppages. (cleaning would have helped massively with this)
3. Soldiers weren't trained in how to clean their rifles either.
4. Not totally confirmed, but it seems that a number of manufacturers of poor quality were employed in M16 construction (Soldiers going as far to believe that Mattel made the guns, though this is false)
5. It was a new weapon that the soldiers thought was weak, many of them preferring the M14. Thus they may have been exaggerrating in some cases.

It wasn't long before the US military brass wised up, fixed their smokeless powder chemistry, supplied soldiers with proper cleaning kits, taught them how to clean their rifles, and started fixing known problems with the rifle. After that long process, the reliability issues stopped, although not before the gun garnered a horrible reputation for itself in the first half of the Vietnam war.

These days the M16 is a fine, reliable weapon. Not as reliable as, say, an AKM, but I'd rather have an M16 or M4 carbine than an AK-74. The rifle itself has pretty much everything it needs, save a full auto option (Although this is provided by the M4A1 carbine, which is starting to be issued to "advanced riflemen" as the US military is starting to realize how useless having only semiautomatic and three round burst is in an urban conflict)

1. Really? Gad that's tiny.
2. It looks like the chain is going into the box, and let me tell you, chain takes up a lot of space. Also, the game claims that the ammo is 20 (!) calibers, which will also take up a TON of space. Remember, this is hundreds of rounds we are talking about here.
3. Tell me how this is possible/how it would work?
4. The sound it makes when starting up (VROOM VROOM) indicates that it is run on either gasoline or diesel fuel. I'm pretty sure a super-heated plasma like substance would not make that sound.

Not trying to be mean, just saying that it isn't possible. Also that is NOT run on plasma. (Or whatever the hell imulsion is. It looked like a plasma to me. Or maybe super-magma)

Can we get back to recommending air rifles for me?

No idea man. You can probably go on any site, or just ask at one of your local sports stores and ask for those specific specifications and be done with the matter faster then asking on a forum.
