Quick Boomerang

Quick Boomerang (クイックブーメラン) is Quick Man's special weapon. It's a small boomerang-shaped cutter that can be fired rapidly and has short range. Mega Man can fire a couple of boomerangs with a small amount of energy. They are extremely useful against the first three Wily's Castle bosses. Although immune to the Quick Boomerang, Quick Man will immediately stop what he's doing and will be stunned momentarily when hit with his own weapon.

In the original Mega Man 2 game, the Quick Boomerang damaged every normal enemy in the game, including enemies that were normally supposed to be immune to all weapons such as the Big Fish in the third Wily stage. This was fixed in future remakes such as Mega Man: The Wily Wars.
