It's far from perfect though (ignoring the baaaw over it's ricochets). Only 25 DM on melee attacks & you can't throw it when sliding, jumping etc.
On the upside it has armour ignore on throws, it pings around hilariously, looks cool, Krull, and is silent... Um, well it counts as silent, it actually makes a lot of noise! Perfect if you want to stealth with style.
Oh and you can do other stuff when it's been thrown like shooting, poking switches blah blah. It also seems to have a faster recovery time than other melee weapons.

In any case Skul and I dropped the platinum for it and we've been having a fair bit of fun with it. The charge attack, as we predited, throws it, and it ricochets off of enemies and environments (Ricochets off enemies seem random, but according to Skul they're more or less predictable) before returning to you. The throw does a fair bit of damage, too - and you can get headshots with it.
I might just buy some platinum and get it, seems like it'd be fun to use.
