Line 74:
* ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' has a first-level spell named 'Flamespin', creating a pinwheel ''[[Incendiary Exponent|of flame]]''. Unattended, it only hangs where spawned and burns (useful to block a narrow passage), but the caster can pick it up and beat someone with it, throw it down a corridor, and so on.
* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' spinoffs, [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|perhaps predictably]].
** ''[[Dark Heresy]]'' has stats for Hunting Quoit (chakram) among the weapons of more primitive worlds.
** ''[[Rogue Trader]]'', feeling obligated to outdo the other lines, introduced "Crimson Crown" - which is a thrown buzzsaw floating on a miniature suspensor (like on those servoskulls), and Power Discus - much the same, but as high-tech version it's lighter and instead of teeth uses circular power blade (i.e. augmented with disruptor field).
** Narthecium is a field medic tool which includes a buzzsaw (more for emergency removal of armor than for amputations) - standard issue for Space Marines, but a lesser version appears in well-supplied Guard regiments. So, of course, ''[[Only War]]'' has rules for using it as an [[Improvised Weapon]].

Line 96 ⟶ 97:
* ''[[Lost Planet]]'' has the Disc Grenade, which has the added bonus of being a [[Sticky Bomb]].
** In ''[[Lost Planet]] 2'', you also have the Shuriken, which does what the average Deadly Disc does in most games.
* ''[[Destroy All Humans!]]'': Features the Disc Launcher, which will catch a human on it, fly them into various solid objects to lower the health of the human, and rise into the sky towards the end of its run, exploding and dropping them from
* Metal Man's weapon in ''[[Mega Man 2]]''. Resurfaces in ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]] 3'' as one of MetalMan.EXE's signature weapons.
* Rinoa of ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' has a few weapons that function as this, namely Rising Sun and Shooting Star.
Line 104 ⟶ 105:
* The Disc Gun from ''[[Super Crate Box]]''. It's also a [[Pinball Projectile]]. {{spoiler|Be careful with it.}}
* There are a LOT of these in the ''[[Meat Boy]]'' games.
* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' allows the dwarves to forge large serrated discs, a type of weapon that can only be used in weapon traps. Up to ten discs at a time can be placed in a single trap, and due to the way weapon damage is calculated, they are one of the most deadliest - and messiest - conventional trap types in the game, and quite often result in flying [[An Arm and a Leg|limbs]], [[Off with His Head|heads]] and assorted [[Ludicrous Gibs]] with [[Overdrawn At the Blood Bank|spray of blood]] all over. As the most capable of instant kills, it's also the most also prone to jamming, however.
* The ''[[Castlevania Sorrow]]'' games have the Disc Armour, which uses a disc on a tether to attack you with. You can get this ability by obtaining the foe's soul. ''[[Symphony of the Night]]'' also features a variant as a [[Unique Enemy]].
* The ''[[Turok (series)|Turok]]'' series has the Razor Wind weapon ([[Razor Wind|nothing to do with the trope of the same name]]).
