The chainblade looks identical to the chainswords from Warhammer 40,000, in my opinion. The only exception is that the tip of the PS chainblade has a solid metal sort of spike on it. It's actually sort of strange in that regard. When the chanblade is in secondary fire, your character always does the stab animation when using it. But, the actual moving chain isn't exposed on the tip, only on the length of the blade, so it makes more sense for your character to slash with it -- something you only do when the secondary mode is not active, and the chain unmoving.

So, the tip is immobile, the chain running along the edge of the blade spins like a chainsaw's chain when secondary fire is active.
