The proper sword

[HTRN]

Stihl 090 Magnum, a full chisel .404 chain running a 60" Cannon Saw bar..

Preferably applied sideways?

In an intimate way, yes.

I don't think it really matters.

It does when we're dealing with something that needs to be fucked sideways with a chainsaw.

"Well we keep getting sued over the means we use to administer the death penalty so we are going to try a traditional method, beheading.
Our budget is too limited to purchase or build a guillotine so we've contracted it out to Elmo. Fire it up Elmo. rrrmmeM ringading ding ding."

As one of the few posters, I'm guessing, who's actually witnessed a chainsaw being used on a corpse... (Dead deer)

There are faster options, and clean up is a real issue - reciprocating didn't do much better.

I have, in person, seen the effect a hatchet can have on a group of miscreants. I quote, "An Ax? He's got a f$&&&g ax!"

An actual ax would be rather unwieldy, I suspect, but a hatchet is another matter entirely.

Tomahawk for fighting.

Then there was the movie the Viking where the most noticeable use of the Norse bearded axe was the drawbridge scene. In which the Vikings threw axes into a drawbridge to form climbing handles. At the time I was more interested Janet Leigh's assets. I first saw it with an all male audience. "Not surprised Curtis was almost devoured by crabs." Kurt Douglas in a dramatic pose holds up a sword, "Take 5, smoke if you got them."

"Bearded Axe" one of my old girl friends' mother or possibly something I met in my youth after over indulgence with alcohol.
A lesbian rock band?

Head butt.

"Cloak and Dagger damn it not a chainsaw with a muffler on it!"
