The Nuke in the Fallout New Vegas Launcher.

2. Mod Description
***********************************************************
you'll get the achievement for 10,000 unarmed damage if you
shoot it at something with enough targets. (Don't ask that's
just how it works)
So my sniper character finally got around to arming the
Achimedes II weapon. Unfortunately it really REALLY sucks.
If your going to blow up an NCR camp for a super weapon it
should act like a super weapon. Especially if it's a once a day
This mod changes the Euclid's C-Finder to weigh only 3 pounds.
More importantly the Archimedes shot fired using it deals 1,000
damage on impact and hits with a force of 10,000 with a radius
of 4,000. This makes it 4 times the radius with nearly 10 times
the damage. During testing i was able to nuke Camp Forlorn Hope
and take out the entire camp.
Q: This is a cheat mod it should be in the cheats section.
A: Go Away, some of us think a giant laser using a 100 solar
panels as energy should actually kill things.
