Proton throwing axe

The proton throwing axe is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
It is similar in appearance to the proton axe but is much smaller. It is a thrown weapon and explodes on impact. These weapons are quite uncommon, but are also one of the more damaging thrown weapons. As an advantage towards robots, it can target a combat inhibitor in V.A.T.S. as if it's in full view, even if the robot is facing the player. Unlike the non throwing version it has no EMP effect. The only downside is its relatively heavy weight, at 1 pound each, considering it is a thrown item.
