Medical Brace (Fallout 3)

The Medical Brace is a junk item which can be found in various locations through out the Capital Wasteland, most notably used as a necessary component for creating the Deathclaw Gauntlet.

Characteristics
There are actually two items called "Medical Brace". The first one is the one used for the Deathclaw Gauntlet, while the second one is a junk item only found in Raven Rock. They can be distinguished from each other by looking at their "value"-number: if it worth 10, then it is the real thing, if it is worth 1, then it cannot be used to create custom weapons.

Regardless, both kinds of "Medical Brace" can be loaded into the Rock-It Launcher and used as ammunition.

Strikingly similar to the leg brace worn by Mad Max in the movie Road Warrior.
