Whiplash is a variant of the ARC-920 railgun manufactured by Acheron Security.[6]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
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.[6] 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.[8]
Usage[edit]
In late 2558, Spartan-IVs serving aboard the UNSC Infinity trained with the Whiplash in War Games simulations.[8]
