I'm trying to come up with some unique ranged weapon ideas, beyond the normal bow and such, and was wondering if any of you had any that you'd used in games before.
Unique Ranged Weapons

The EN World kitten
I only just saw this over on RPGnow, but have you looked at their Forgotten Weapons: Stonebow? It's apparently a crossbow, but it fires stones, not bolts. It certainly seemed interesting.

In Perdido Street Station, there's a race of cactus-like humanoids that use "rivebows", crossbows that shoot circular saw blades instead of bolts to penetrate their thick juicy hides. I always thought it was a good idea.

Iron Breaker from Quint. Fighter.
It's a Jai alai hook strapped to the arm, launching a ball of iron shot. The next step in sling evolution!!
EDIT: Since we're playing a Si-fi game, we use it as a quiet granade launcher (lacks the tech versions range, but good luck finding him...).
You could convert this to lauch glass or ceramic orbs filled with any number of substances (just don't fumble).

Check out Talislanta. The Orgovians had a weapon called a Star Thrower. Essentially a crossbow but it fired spiked orbs the size of golfballs.
