Throwing Spear

The throwing spear is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Between five and six feet in length, the throwing spear is a timeless weapon with a sordid history synonymous with the history of warfare. With its sharp, jagged tip, the throwing spear can be a most formidable weapon in the right hands.

It has a low critical hit chance (max of 53% or 58% with the add-on perk (Light Touch), temporarily the spear can also be used with Heavy Handed, inflicting greater damage on a regular hit and nearly identical damage to that of a critical hit or sneak attack critical (Better Criticals). Dealing 50 Critical hit damage.

The Courier carries the spears at the hip and not on the back, and uses an underhand throwing technique. The spears are held in an overhanded manner, and when they are used, they are tossed in the air and caught underhandedly before being thrown.

Spears appear to be slightly larger when looked at in third person.

 * Occasionally the spears will not stack in your inventory correctly, making it appear as though you have a small number even if you know you have more. The number will appear correctly when equipped, but when you more than your last visible one as it appears in your inventory, it will appear in your inventory as only one until the one is dropped.
