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; in the right hands; the throwing spear can be a most formidable weapon.

Due to its low critical hit damage and chance (max of 53%, 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). A slight difference of 0.8 on a regular critical hit and 1.6 on a sneak attack critical hit.

The courier carries the spears at the hip and not on the back; and uses an overhand throwing technique.
