Alternate name: Returning boomerangs

Typically seen as an angular wooden piece, though boomerangs by their most crude definitions are just thrown weapons. The returning variant is mostly used as a recreational tool rather than a weapon, but in games the returning type is often used to "explain" the infinite supply of them.

This tag is therefore solely for the returning type, not strictly restricted to the angular wooden piece but pretty much any thrown weapon that returns to the user.
