Throwing Spear

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

Characteristics
The Courier carries the spears at the hip and uses an overhand throwing technique. The spears are tossed in the air and caught before being thrown overhand.

Variants

 * Throwing knife spear
 * Waking Cloud's throwing spear, a unique non-playable throwing spear used by Waking Cloud.

Locations

 * Shop merchants sometimes have it in stock.
 * Members of Caesar's Legion commonly carry them.
 * Sometimes sold by Mick & Ralph's.
 * Salt-Upon-Wounds, the main antagonist of the add-on, may use them at long distances.
 * Used by the Dead Horses, such as at the Dead Horses camp to fish.
 * Ten throwing spears are added to the Courier's inventory with the Courier's Stash Tribal Pack.

Bugs

 * 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.
 * The spears may also not stack in your weapons trunk or other container correctly either, showing the number of spears as one, and then changing to the actual number of spears owned when the player takes one out of the container it was stored in, very much like the glitch that can occur in the player's personal inventory.
 * Occasionally, a poisoned throwing spear is lootable off of a White Legs corpse. This spear cannot be stored and once dropped, cannot be picked back up.
