I actually thought of Angus McLaughlin's Flamesaw from Primal Carnage.

However, your suggestion is far more likely.

Maybe its just a chainsaw:)

I think the suggestion Charlie points out is the most likely yet. It need not be a direct reference to anything. In fact, the vast majority of Team Fortress 2 items aren't specifically referencing any one franchise or object.

Miss Zoe's chainsaw might indeed just be a chainsaw. I for one am quite content with that.

i'm pretty sure if a reference to anything, it would be texas chainsaw massacre, the original from 1974, not the remakes, hence why the pyro in the pics is wearing what looks like a mask made of flesh.

Not a reference to anything, literally just a Chainsaw.

Is the pyro showing the chainsaw supposed to look like Jason from Friday the 13th?
