'''Whiplash''' is a variant of the [[ARC-920 railgun]] manufactured by [[Acheron Security]].{{Ref/Game|Id=REQ|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ card|Detail=Whiplash description|Quote=Acheron Security has recently made great strides in developing compact fast-discharge energy cells and miniaturized sensors.

==Overview==
===Design details===
The Whiplash is a modified railgun developed by Acheron Security with a number of improvements over the base ARC-920 model. These changes have come thanks to recent strides in the development of compact fast-discharging energy cells and miniaturised sensors; these have allowed for the development of a railgun with a faster charge and the ability to fit multiple shots-per-magazine. Where the original ARC-920 could only fire one shot before needing to reload, the Whiplash can fire two, with the projectiles additionally fitted with a proximity airburst fuse.{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}} Design-wise, it retains the standard Railgun's chassis but recolors it to a feature olive green and red stripes, along with an olive green falcon emblem in the middle part of the weapon on each side.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Whiplash in-game model}}

===Usage===
In late [[2558]], [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] serving aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} trained with the Whiplash in [[War Games]] simulations.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
