* ''VideoGame/MissionImpossibleKonami'': One of your agents, Nicholas Black, uses boomerangs as weapons. They have greater reach than Grant's fists, but less than Max's rifle. They're a bit awkward to use, but can be carefully maneuvered to hit targets hiding behind walls.

Oddly, when this trope is in use, it's unlikely to be used by an actual Australian, aboriginal or otherwise, even though it is an iconic symbol of the country to the rest of the world. Note that, pop culture aside, this is not more than TruthInTelevision: returning boomerangs were actually known on all the five continents, with ancient Egyptians and Germans being among the nations of the old world that used it.

** Hunting/melee boomerangs have a more shallow curve, are made of dense and solid hard woods, and tend to have a pronounced edge. They can still be thrown, handle a little like axes, clubs, or forward-curved blades like the [[KukrisAreKool kukri]], and can vary in size from knife-sized "sidearm" 'rangs to giant, almost polearm-sized monsters that can easily punch through your quarry's ribs with a well-placed swing during the hunt. They weigh around 2 kg (4.4 lbs), and at a range of 100 m can be fatal. This kind, obviously, does ''not'' return to the thrower, often because it ends up lodged in the target's ribcage.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''VideoGame/SpudsAdventure'', Arnie Eggplant's default weapon is a boomerang that is slower than Spud's shot and can only be fired one at a time, but can go through walls and behind you and has a long, angled range.
