Throwing Axe

When selected as a Special Weapon, a player character will get one axe per life. When thrown, the Throwing Axe follows an arc. It will damage a player character upon impact, and after 5 seconds (the duration of which the axe emits a tone that increases in pitch as the axe charges) explodes, causing area-of-effect damage to every character within the explosion's radius, be it friend or foe.

Pros

 * Area-of-Effect makes it easy to hit multiple opponents.
 * Follows the same principles as a grenade.

Cons

 * Easy to hit teammates engaged in combat.
 * Thrown in an arc, limited range.
