To throw the boomerang, a retractable cable with a hook is attached to the wrist of Descartes' mechanical arm. The cable reel is attached to his left hip. There is a large, spinning screw-shaped button on the reel that is pressed. When Descartes pulls his arm back, this he presses the button to lock the cable and create tension. The button is pressed again to release the tension when he throws the boomerang. The boomerang is capable of deflecting bullets. When not using the boomerang, Descartes carries it on his back. | To throw the boomerang, a retractable cable with a hook is attached to the wrist of Descartes' mechanical arm.
