- When used to mutilate corpses, it automatically blows up the limbs into giblets.
- If you strike an alien with this in Mothership Zeta, their body will have red blood on it.
- Oddly, this unique weapon's value (55 caps) is less than its more common counterpart, the regular axe (60 caps).
- If you strike an ash or goo pile with this weapon, giblets will spurt out of it
