In an effort to add more melee weapons to the VSF, the company developed and released te VSF Dingo, a vibro-axe with an ascension cable spooled into the grip. With a swinging motion and the push of a button on the handle, the user can propel the axe head through the air t their intended target, followed by an ascension cable. Whether the axe head buries itself into the target, or hooks onto it, a press of the button again will cause the weapon to respool. The time can be increased with multiple clicks of the button or halted by holding it down for a second. It is recommended that upon securing the axe head in a target position, the user starts spooling on the slow setting, then adjusts to the medium setting to pull their limbs out of socket or lose their grip. The fast spool is only recommended when attempting to grapple a small target or during a miss as it will rapidly return all 20 meters of cable in a matter of seconds.
The axe head contains a vibration cell that is remotely connected to another button on the hilt. When activated, the axe head will act as any vibroblade, making it capable of dealing more damage or digging deeper into materials that it is brought against.
