It makes the Saw only a 4 shot clip, on energy ammo based weapons it doesn’t affect it though. (i.e. storm rifle, incineration cannon, Brute Plasma Rifle)

It’s a texture glitch, someone found out it seems to be a plasma pistol skin over the rifle.
From what I know, it’s some sort of fourth addition to the plasma rifle line up, there are also some interesting textures to the carbine and storm rifle, although theres are only a red texture. It’s caused by the game trying to load in a fourth model of the weapon when you use a legendary weapon for the forge glitch (due to them being the fourth rendition of a weapon) So it’s possible that there will at some point be a fourth version of this weapon, or it may just be a cut content type bug.
