History Main / BallisticBone

* ''ShinkyokuSoukaiPolyphonica'': [[spoiler:In ''Inspector Black'', Managa and Matia figure out that the book's victim was killed by a bullet made of bone. Skull bone, to be exact, to blend in with the headshot. And the perpetrator, after spilling his secret in a bar, is nailed by the scar on his scalp where the bone was harvested.]] Pretty ingenious, actually.

* Crossbow bolts can be carved out of animal bone in ''DwarfFortress'', which is about half-way between this trope and AbnormalAmmo. They're not much use against large wild animals or any humanoid wearing even the most rudimentary armour, barring a lucky hit, but they're a cheap and readily available source of practice ammunition.
* Some necromancers in ''WorldOfWarcraft'' have spells with a projectile that looks like a bone. Several of the more threatening skeletal opponents also have bone projectiles.

* The skeletons in ''{{Nitemare 3D}}'', presumably.
* ''{{Shadows of the Damned}}'' uses three types of ammo: skulls, teeth, and bones. Bones are used as ammo in a gun that Garcia colloquially calls "The Boner."

* A certain tribe of Pacific Islanders uses arrow points made out of human bones. Preferrably coming from a ''relative'', mind.

* The ''{{Diablo 2}}'' Necromancer class can shoot Bone Spears and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome Teeth]].

* ''{{Pokemon}}'': Cubone's and Marowak's signature moves [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang Bonemerang]], Bone Rush, and Bone Club.

* ''TheLegendOfZelda'': Some Stalfos throw bones.

* It's probably just some sort of energy-field hologram thing, but [[Videogame/MegaMan Mega Man 4]] features Skull Man, whose weapon is flying skulls.

* In ''{{Baroque}}'' you can find many items, a part being bones with different effect and throwing them by hand is option.

* CliveBarkersUndying has a spell (the game's equivalent of a rocket launcher) that pulls skulls out of the ground, charges them with magic and fires them when you release the button. The ammo is justified by the island having been a battleground for pretty much forever, "Not an inch of this ground where someone hasn't died." Doesn't explain how you can use it up on the roof of the mansion, though...

* Ultimate Humongosaur from {{Ben10UltimateAliens}} uses its knuckle bones as machine gun rounds.

* In ''DwarfFortress'', you can make ammunition out of bone.
** Not only can you, it is one of the more-commonly-made types. After all, wood bolts are not much of any good and metal is too rare. There isn't much else you can use bone for, so...

* The more advanced skeleton enemies of ''LaMulana'' can throw these.

%%This page needs an image; e. g. a collage of bone throwers from Mario, Castlevania, La-Mulana and CaveStory.

* Some skull-type enemies of ''CaveStory'' shoot them. As well, you fight the TrueFinalBoss of the game on a floor made of bones. In the first two parts of the fight, he frequently performs a GroundPound which sends out a shock wave of bones capable of hurting you. In the third part of the fight, he drops flaming skulls on you.

* ''{{Pokemon}}'': Cubone and Marowak's (formerly) signature move, [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang Bonemerang]].

* The ''{{Diablo 2}}'' Necromancer class can, possibly among other spells, attack with a "Bonespear" and shoot teeth.

* ''{{Egoboo}}'' has Bone Thrower [[DemBones Ulnas]].
* In the ''{{Clonk}}'' pack 'Metal and Magic', the mystic can launch these using power drawn from an animal skull.
