Overview and Function

The Rutger Polymorph Whip, more commonly known in the Freikorps as the RP Whip, is a revolutionary new weapon. It's made of millions of fused pieces of metal that are as flexible as any fabric. The whole whip, excluding the handle, is charged with a radioactive plasma. When hit with the whip, the recipient's organs immediately fry, killing the person instantly. The plasma charge extends a half an inch away from the whip's surface, like a force field.

What makes this whip special, though, is that it can transform almost instantly into a state of the art sniper rifle. When Colonel-General Inuit flips a small switch hidden inside the bottom of the handle, the whole gun stiffens, and the metal slides back and overlaps, shortening itself by 3 feet. From inside, a small scope pops out, the handle of the whip turns downward to become the gun's handle, a second handle pops out of the gun, and the tip of the whip folds in to form the barrel. The ammo is limited (only 13 bullets can fit in the gun), but the bullets have a core of the same plasma that charges the whip. When the bullet hits the target, the plasma is released, finishing off the recipient of the bullet.
