Ballistic Knife

The Ballistic Knife is a secondary weapon in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Overview
When drawn, players can fire the knife's blade, which results in a silent one hit kill, much like the Throwing Knife and Tomahawk. It is also much like Throwing Knife or Tomahawk in the sense that the blades will drop below the aimed point at distance. Blades can be picked back up and reloaded into the handle to be used again even though more than one blade can be carried at a time. It does not replace the normal melee knife, which is still wielded with the left hand during melee attacks. Killing a player with the Ballistic Knife's ranged attack gives the player the message "Skewer" at the top of the screen.

The Ballistic Knife is one of the few available weapons in the new Sticks and Stones playlist in Black Ops, along with the Crossbow and Tomahawk. The Ballistic Knife is the Tier 20 weapon, the final one used, in Gun Game.
