Powder Charge

The powder charge is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The powder charge is a crude improvised explosive consisting of a sealed tin can packed with dynamite, with a sensor module duct-taped to the side.

The weapon functions like other proximity mines, and can be placed or disarmed in the same way.

It can be crafted by the player, or bought from certain merchants.
