I have done a little research but cant find a conclusion to this.
I want to make a grenadier who utilizes thrown weapons. Allowing myself to apply bomb damage on something like a Chakram.
Looking over the Alchemical Weapon ability I see that your bomb itself cant be added to your weapon but other alchemical weapons can be. All posts I find reference using the Explosive Missile discovery to overcome this to apply your bomb to ranged weapons but the ability specifically states "infuse a single arrow, crossbow bolt, or one-handed firearm bullet" nothing about a thrown weapon.
Is there something I am missing here? Can you simply only apply your bomb to the weapon types listed in the Explosive Missile discovery? Are thrown weapons just out of luck?
Yes, you could only apply your bomb to those weapons listed. Well, you could also add it to a piece of siege ammo, but eh.
I'd ask your GM.
Yeah, it looks like they just left thrown weapons out of this, possibly to prevent shenanigans somehow involving Throw Anything? I really don't know, but I'm not seeing anything to help you here. If you're willing to use a comp. longbow you could have a helluva range on your bomb with Explosive Missile, in addition to which you can plop another alchemical effect onto your arrow with Alchemical Weapon (probably just Alchemist's fire, but still), and then chuck on some poison, for a nice (if expensive) full round action for sticky situations.
But unfortunately none of that helps you use any of these abilities with chakram :C
I suspect thrown weapons are out of luck.
Unofficially, I don't think it will break the game, unless you start hurling alchemically infused greats words at everything with your four-armed monstrosity.
You may want to look into the conductive weapon property from UE. It would allow you to apply alchemist bombs to a thrown weapon, but uses 2 bombs per attack.

My end result was going to be thrown weapons with added alchemical benefits and utilize the blink black belt to return weapons that miss to me so I don't waste the alchemical item.
This will be for a society character but I asked here in case there was something hidden in pathfinder that I was missing that I could use. Guess ill just be using a few +1 thrown weapons and blink them back. I will weigh how much the conductive property could be worth it and go from there.
Thanks for the info everyone.
