Dynamite (Fallout: New Vegas)

Dynamite is a high explosive, consisting of an absorbent material soaked in nitroglycerin. It appears as a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Dynamite comes in sticks with fuses that stick out of them. Once lit, they are tossed at a hostile and will damage or kill them. It only requires 1 strength to use this very lightweight explosive weapon. However it has a rather small blast radius for an explosive which reduces it's effectiveness against groups of enemies while at the same time being less of a friendly fire hazard.

Alternatively, one may place it on the ground by dropping it. You can then fire at it with weaponry or throw another explosive at it, adding to the damage. One can lure a target onto the dynamite for DAM shown on the stats screen. However, bear in mind that this kind of kill will not yield experience, but is another effective way to kill someone without changing anyone's opinion on your character, or gaining/losing karma.

It has the words "INERT" on both sides of the stick, near the fuse, also it has two American flags on each side of the stick as well as the word "DYNAMITE" on each side. The American flags look like the American flag of our world, as opposed to the different design used in the Fallout universe. Whether this is a design oversight or shows just how old (presumably from before or around WWII, where the timeline diverges) these Dynamite sticks are

The fuse is 3 seconds long.

Variants
Long fuse dynamite is just like normal dynamite but, as the name suggests, has a long fuse, which lasts 6 seconds.
