Police Baton (Fallout: New Vegas)

The police baton is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A weapon meant to keep order, used by long-gone police. Now used by peacekeepers and trouble-makers alike.

Special attack
It has a special Lights Out attack that does 125% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 6 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Lights Out outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.

Durability
The police baton can successfully strike about 1245 times from full condition before breaking.
