Whip

Raiders Whip

Indiana Jones is famous for his trusty bullwhip. A long strip of leather, Indy has used it hundreds of times throughout his adventures. It can be used for pulling levers, swinging over chasms, or simply smacking a Nazi across the cheek. It takes a great deal of skill to use a whip, as it has a tendency to snap the wrong way, resulting in an inexperienced wielder beating himself half to death. The first time Indy uses a whip in-universe is in the Last Crusade prologue, when he is trying to drive off a lion.
