For added go, strap on some aerosol cans and flame for a built in flamethrower (extra aggression points).
The problem with the saw blades is getting them to spin with enough torque to do any kind of damage: there's just no way to cram enough battery power in there.

Launching a liquid is forbidden: so is a flamethrower (but shhht! Don't tell Sgt Bash!)

I was thinking about a wheel rim (very strong) with a ball-and-chain attachment that would pop out at a greater distance, proportional with the rotation speed: max damage, at max velocity. Heck, just a carefully balanced spring would do the job.

For more power: gas engine! Make that sucka spin wildly: it'll take out a wall...
