Throwing Hatchet

Throwing hatchets are a melee throwing weapon which appears in Fallout: New Vegas. Differing from standard hatchets, these hatchets have been rebalanced for ranged combat.

Characteristics
Throwing hatchets require a Strength of 1 and a Melee Weapons skill of 25 to be used effectively. Like their non-thrown counterparts, throwing hatchets inflict an additional 50% in Limb Damage and are one of the most damaging thrown weapons (with the exception of Explosives). However, they are extremely heavy when compared to throwing spears and knives, and are also much less common.
