Boomerang

The boomerang is a throwing weapon in Fallout Tactics.

Characteristics
A boomerang is a thrown tool for hunting, a flat airfoil made of wood, it is designed to spin about on its axis perpendicular to the direction of flight. Assuming this is a returning boomerang, if it misses its target it will circle back to the thrower, making it reusable. With enough force behind it, 2 lbs. of wood can prove an effective weapon, and the requirements to wield it effectively are relatively low.

Behind the scenes
Though boomerangs are commonly thought of as an Australian icon, many cultures throughout history have used throwing sticks and boomerang-like weapons, including Native Americans. Although not a common sight in pre-War America, it is still unusual that they are still found.
