Ripper (Fallout)

The Ripper vibroblade is a melee weapon found in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics
The Ripper vibroblade has a number of steel teeth that rotate at an extremely fast pace. This allows the Ripper to easily cut through a target's flesh and bone. It has excellent damage statistics and is one of the best melee weapons available. However, to operate the Ripper, small energy cells are required.
