I can see how some weapons would do more damage when thrown.

If they're too unwieldy to accurately hit with in melee (say, a car), then they'd be a poor melee weapon, but, they'd be a superior missile. Even an I-Beam would be a good missile as it's solid, not really built for gripping and solid enough to stay together on impact (cars should do fragmentation damage on impact . . .).

Something like a man-hole cover should be devastating as a thrown weapon--far superior to using it as a melee weapon.
