History Main / DeadlyDisc

* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': In "Written in the Stars", the murderer uses a razor-edged disc to slice the throat of the third VictimOfTheWeek.

* In the ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' level "We Don't Go to Ravenholm", you can pick up sawblades in the sawmill with the gravity gun and use them as deadly discs. They [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe instantly kill]] anyone they hit and lodge themselves into walls if meeting them with sufficiently high force.
* Among the AbnormalAmmo arsenal in ''VideoGame/HellgateLondon'' is a rifle that launches electrified sawblades.

* The "identity discs" from ''Film/{{Tron}}''; in fact, one of the UsefulNotes/Atari2600 / UsefulNotes/{{Intellivision}} games based on the original movie is actually called ''VideoGame/TronDeadlyDiscs''. ''Film/TronLegacy'' switched to RingsOfDeath, though the devices are still referred to as "identity discs".

** The aforementioned UsefulNotes/Atari2600[=/=]UsefulNotes/{{Intellivision}} game ''VideoGame/TronDeadlyDiscs'', plus its arcade counterpart ''[[http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7594 Discs of Tron.]]''

** ''VideoGame/TronEvolution'' and the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}-exclusive ''[[http://tron.wikia.com/wiki/TRON:_Evolution_-_Battle_Grids Tron Evolution: Battle Grids.]]''

* The Franchise/{{Predator}}s, starting with the one from ''Film/{{Predator 2}}'' onward, have been shown to use a disc which can slice clean through multiple targets and return to the wielder. In ''Film/AVPAlienVsPredator'' and ''Film/AliensVsPredatorRequiem'', the disc was changed to a shuriken, though the games typically stick with the ''Predator 2'' incarnation.

* Sharpened plates are used as weapons in ''Literature/WolvesOfTheCalla'', the fifth book in ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'' series.

* The Batmobile in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' fires high-speed discus-style discs that Batman uses in the opening fight to unseat Skull Riders.

Disks, [[ChainsawGood saw blades]], [[ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks shields]], manhole covers, and metal plates are effective weapons when [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks thrown]]. Manhole covers are a favorite among [[{{Superhero}} supers]] in an urban setting, as the strength required to lift one and throw it like a frisbee would induce FridgeLogic if the thrower was a [[{{Muggle}} non-super]]. However, normals can still improvise with [=CDs=], plates, vinyls, or even [[EdibleAmmunition pizzas]], which will be PlayedForLaughs.

* ''VideoGame/{{Quake II}} Mission Pack: The Reckoning'' adds the Ion Ripper, a gun which launches energy discs at a medium rate of fire which can ricochet off surfaces to hit unseen enemies around corners. It also adds the Ripper Guard enemy to wield the same weapon against you.

* ''VideoGame/{{Quake II}}'' Mission Pack: The Reckoning adds the Ion Ripper, a gun which launches energy discs at a medium rate of fire which can ricochet off surfaces to hit unseen enemies around corners. It also adds the Ripper Guard enemy to wield the same weapon against you.

* ''VideoGame/{{Quake II}}'' Mission Pack: The Reckoning adds the Ion Ripper, a gun which uses two cells per shot to launch energy discs at a medium fire rate which can ricochet to hit unseen enemies around corners. It also adds the Ripper Guard enemy to wield the same weapon against you.

* [[ActionMom Elasti-Girl]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' uses a manhole cover to take out the robot's laser. She doesn't have the super-strength to fling it normally (as evidenced by her effort to lift it), so she stretches her arm around a street lamp and sling-shots it at the robot.

* The same Disc Gun returns in ''VideoGame/NuclearThrone'', with the exact same mechanics (save for being in a top-down game instead of a side-view one). [[spoiler:There's also a Super Disc Gun, which can only be found in specific chests after a certain point in the game. It shoots five discs at once, in a shotgun-like spread.]]

* The ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'' 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. ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' also features a variant as a UniqueEnemy.

* ''Anime/YesPreCure5'': Komachi Akimoto/Cure Mint's Emerald Saucer is a shield [[ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks that can be tossed to destroy and purify the enemy.]]

* ''Kagero: VideoGame/{{Deception}} II'' introduced saw blades as wall-based traps. They would knock a invader clear to the opposite side of where they were fired from.
