Bumper sword

The bumper sword is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
A two-handed bladed melee weapon that consists of a chrome car bumper that has been pounded out and sharpened into an elongated, heavy blade. It has the slowest attack speed of all bladed melee weapons and shares the second highest weight of all bladed melee weapons with its variants at 12, surpassed only by the chainsaw and the thermic lance's 20.
Visually, one can see the old vehicle license plate still attached and an exhaust pipe strapped to the unsharpened end, serving as a makeshift handle.
===Special attack===
The bumper sword has a special Mauler attack, which does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. and uses 10 more action points. Additionally, it has a chance to knock enemies down.
It is possible to execute Mauler outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
===Durability===
The bumper sword can successfully strike about 1,495 times from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Blade of the East - a unique variant used by Legate Lanius (only obtainable during any non-Legion ending).
* Blade of the West - Can be found on various marked men, particularly Blade, in the Divide.
