Throwing Hatchet

The throwing hatchet is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A small wood-handled hatchet, useful for chopping wood and limbs alike. Unlike the standard hatchet, the shape and weight of throwing hatchets makes them more ideal for hurling at targets with decent range and accuracy.

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 deal more damage than any other non-explosive thrown weapon.
