Proton Throwing Axe

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

Characteristics
It is similar in appearance to the proton axe, but is much smaller. It is a thrown weapon and it explodes on impact. These weapons are quite uncommon, so one should take careful aim when using one. As an advantage towards robots, it can target a combat inhibitor in V.A.T.S. as if it's in full view, even if the robot is facing the player. Unlike the non throwing version, it does not have an EMP effect.
