A boomerang is a ranged weapon, designed for throwing.

When thrown, it will travel in a circular path clockwise from the direction thrown, hitting anything in its path. If it makes its way back to you there is a (dexterity in 20) chance of catching the boomerang; otherwise it hits you.

The unusual throwing mechanics make this a rarely used weapon.
