Weapons intended for throwing, most notably the ash throwing spear, are too powerful in melee.
I first noticed this when creating a mod for singleplayer. The algorithm that demetimines the stats makes it hard to balance both the melee and throwing properties of a weapon, since it uses the same properties for both. The weight is the most problematic. If it's possible I think it would be best to add more properties to the parts such as a separate damage multiplier for when it's used as a projectile and the amount of force that is used to propel it forwards.
