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. Damn, can't multi-quote.

That's even better. I didn't think the whipstaff was really effective anyways. But, yeah, needs a gun. Perhaps a MG-type rod on the back end that flips forward into like a reverse bayonet?

Also, I think having a thrown spear I.E. a javelin is too much like Milo, Pyrrha's weapon. I think a spear which can shoot its blade is enough. Perhaps it could also be, instead of spear, a Halberd (which is like a spear-axe), but it only shoots out the spear-point.

BILL:Ballistic knife/grappling hook

Doesn't have enough going on, I think.

82.12: Scythe user, double-ended scythe which splits into dual-weilded scythettes with hand cannon staff-ends

Awesome! not sure how-story accurate it is, and I don't get the semblance, but awesome.

Same with the second one, though I'm unsure of its world-accuracy, instead of story-accuracy.
