Whether he is running a SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) or a saw (of the chainsaw variety) a Marine will fight like the hounds out of hell, especially when protecting others.

CODY, Wyoming — A Colorado man used a chain saw to fight off a mountain lion that attacked him during a camping trip with his wife and two toddlers in northwestern Wyoming…
…Dustin Britton, a 32-year-old mechanic and ex-Marine from Windsor, Colo., said he was alone cutting firewood about 100 feet from his campsite in the Shoshone National Forest when he saw the 100-pound lion staring at him from some bushes. The 6-foot, 170-pound Britton said he raised his 18-inch chain saw and met the lion head-on as it pounced — a collision he described as feeling like a grown man running directly into him.
"It batted me three or four times with its front paws, and as quick as I hit it with that saw, it just turned away," he said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Nothing like a little improvised weaponry. You gotta love American Warriors. A hearty Gun Shy Salute and HOO-RAH to Mr Britton, who stood his ground and protected his family.
