i think a glaive type weapon could be pulled off. the flight path of the glaive would always be predictable and it returning to you would be part of the attack animation. add a second glaive (dual glaives!) and you could have a decent rate of attack. it would be more akin to a melee weapon with an extreme range (so much so that it would just operate as a ranged weapon) than a true ranged projectile weapon, but it would be so boss if they could do it. also in the spirit of all the recent new weapons it would have to transform into something, haha. so the dual glaives would also combine to form a shield to block or maybe a heavy glaive thats slower but more devastating or something. so much more can still be done than just guns or weapon with gun attached, haha.
