Protonic Inversal Throwing Axe

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

Characteristics
Like its larger counterpart, the protonic inversal throwing axe is a unique version of the standard Proton throwing axe, being shortened and balanced for ranged combat.

Locations

 * They can be found in the X-17 Meteorological Station on Ironbelly, a named Mr. Gutsy.
 * They can also be found in The Cuckoo's Nest, though this may only be randomly.
 * They can also be found on Number 27 and Number 34, but, again, this may only be randomly.

Behind the scenes

 * The technology used by this weapon appears to be similar to the electric weapons created in the Secret Vault by Vault-Tec.
 * A similar weapon, the protonic inversal axe, is based on the proton ax of Wasteland, the 1980s game which is considered to be Fallout's predecessor. The protonic inversal throwing axe likely has the same origin.
 * The name of the weapon may be a reference to the 1984 movie Ghoustbusters, as a line from the movie mentions "protonic reversal" which sounds similar, only the first two letters are different, and fits in well with the atomic age pseudo-scientific setting of Old World Blues.
