Weapon

Weapons are Items used to attack a target and deliver Damage.

Weapons are divided to different types, each requiring a different skill:
 * Big Guns
 * Energy Weapons
 * Melee Weapons
 * Small Guns
 * Throwing
 * Unarmed

Fallout 3 retains all of these categories other than Throwing, discarding thrown knives and consolidating grenade use and Traps under the skill category of Explosives, allowing the player to use and disarm traps like the homemade weapon Bottlecap Mine.
