I've looked into the GECK to find some information about the special attacks. They are a property of the weapon, so there is no nice overview. The AP costs vary per weapon, the other effects not, as far as I can see.
The Back Slash on a knife has an AP cost of 16 (with a knife) and a DamageMultiplier ofdeals 0.7 and is silent7x damage.
The Grand Slam (found on the baseball bat) uses 35 AP (compared, compared to 25 standard), and deals 2x damage and is silent.
The Long Cut for the Ripper has an AP cost of 70 (compared, compared to 65) standard, and deals 1.2x damage and is silent.
The Scrap Heap for the Thermic Lance has an AP cost of 70 (compared, compared to 65) standard, and deals 1.25x damage.
The Mauler for Super Sledge has an AP cost of 48, compared to 38 standard, and deals 50% damage. This attack knocks down the enemy (if Stonewall perk is silentnot present).
There could be some more scripts attachedThe Lights Out for Police baton has an AP cost of 29, compared to this special moves23 normal, but I did not find themand deals 1.25x damage.
