Although I've never heard of or seen an actual example of a screen-used boomerang with depressable button(s), I know plenty of people who are quite obsessive about the level of detail that should or shouldn't go into a prop (for example: no sound-generating capabilities because sound is added in post-production and to have sound would make it a toy, dammit) who've built replicas (usually from kits, I think roddenbery.com does or did a kit that could have this function added to it, if indeed it wasn't already a main feature) with the springy-buttons.<br /><br />Whereas I just went out and got the Master Replicas FC phaser with sounds and everything. The novelty soon palls. Now it's just in the display case on my shelf.
