Ok, The way I see it a "staff that shoots a cable out of one end" as you said would be awesome. I look at it as really being a spear that fires the blade out with a cable attached. You can us it like a staff or spear, shoot the blade into objects or enemies to move and swing around, and you can throw the spear and then have it launch the blade after hitting something so it shoots back at you. Very much sounds like a RWBY weapon, creative, simple, and versatile.

This would of course make it not so much a whip any more but I don't mind that personally. It should however, have a little bit more going on than that, another form, or weapon or something. Like you said, every RWBY weapon must also be a gun.

And I on the topic of chain saws, they aren't impossible to put in a RWBY weapon, but one must be careful.
