Just learn to catch them (no more impractical than using them in the first place.) They're a bit more aerodynamic than the blunt ones, and more lethal. Well, that takes away the main drawback of the boomerang, namely that it follows Newton's Third Law of equal reactions and stops when it hits something. "Retriever" Boomerangs (Boomerang that always returns to the user even after hitting through some currently unspecified method) would then be my main character's signature weaponry. Run to throwing range, throw, and instantly run back (do not wait for hit&return/recall) Have light armor and a light shield (other light armored throwers and archers are your archenemies) And it is not the best weapon for close combat.īladed variant is better - both at throwing and close combat. If you have a single boomerang, you will be weaponless and defenseless while it does its flying& hitting. Hit&run as it is.Įven if your boomerang has magical return/recall feature it all still applies. It means that boomerang fighting style is exactly the same as any throwing weapon fighting style (javelins, darts, knives, axes): have 2-3-5 of them, have light armor, run faster.
BOOMERANG WEAPON FULL
Heavy enough boomerang have too wide turning circle - it just have not enough flight time to make a full turn.
If it hits - it hits.īut the real reason is - the impulse that can hit hard is hard to change. And it is obvious: if boomerang can deliver damage to target it will deliver its owner on return. Real life hunting boomerang (there were no special battle ones) never return back.
However I am currently trying to find other fighting styles or techniques for my character, techniques that could also harness the boomerangs ability to return to it's user. So this character of mine is ideally going to be equipped with upwards of 10 boomerangs + cable wires (to be used as a whip of sort or for tying, strangling) + throwing knives + smoke/powder pellets + backup sword + shield.Īnyway what possible fighting techniques could a character who wields almost exclusively boomerangs possibly use?Īn idea I had initially was to have my character throw Boomerangs at his opponents to distract them and then quickly close the distance between himself and his opponents in order to go for the kill. The battle boomerang, also known as boomerang weapon is a common trope in works of fiction but I can't help but wonder how effective would such a weapon really be? And for that matter how useful or useless/hazardous would a bladed variant of this weapon be? I have the impression that the wooden boomerang is the superior and more practice weapon of the two (wooden vs bladed). So I am currently contemplating making my main character a boomerang(s) wielding warrior of legend by the end of his journey/life.
