The Boomerang is considered a ranged weapon, which behaves how any other boomerang should. This weapon is capable of killing most enemies from a great distance. The Boomerang is not considered as one of the more powerful ranged weapons in the game, compared the Shotgun, Scepter, or Plasma Cannon. Unlike other ranged weapons, the Boomerang doesn't produce recoil when thrown which makes it safer to use.
