This short-handled Hammerite hammer looks exactly like a T1/T2 Warhammer, but with a shaft roughly one third its length. Unlike the warhammer, this item is never wielded by Hammerite guards and is probably used only for utility purposes.
The short hammers have the same physical properties as warhammers. They can inflict a wide range of damage when thrown at an opponent: one point maximum for a standing hit, fatal at high speeds. Once struck a character will cringe and wail, but if Garrett is hidden (or Undercover), he will continue with his daily tasks as usual.
