Proton Throwing Axe

The proton throwing axe is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
It is similar in appearance to the proton axe but is much smaller. It is a thrown weapon and it explodes on impact. These weapons are quite uncommon, so one should take careful aim when using one. As an advantage towards robots, it can target a combat inhibiter in V.A.T.S. as if it's in full view, even if the robot is facing the player. Unlike the non throwing version it has no EMP effect. The only downside is its relatively heavy weight, at 1 pound each, considering it is a thrown item.

Variants
Protonic inversal throwing axe: A much stronger variant with a higher damage.
