Knockback is the ability that a weapon may have to knock your target down while at the same time pushing it over the ground, be it because of the perk of that name or the type of damage they inflict. The following weapons have the Knockback perk, triggered by a critical hit only: Super Sledge Sledgehammer Louisville Slugger
I'm quite sure that in FO it should have knock-back on a critical hit only. Was considered too powerful otherwise.Edit: http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/KnockbackQuoteKnockback is the ability that a weapon may have to knock your target down while at the same time pushing it over the ground, be it because of the perk of that name or the type of damage they inflict.
