The Carrington Institute's secret weapon. It fires at a phenomenal rate and has a huge magazine capacity. The secondary mode is a cloaking device that runs off the ammunition in the magazine. A devastating weapon. Average fire rate: 1100 RPM.

The RC-P120 is an experimental sub-machine gun developed by the Carrington Institute in early-mid 2023. The RC-P120 is a formidable weapon in skilled hands, and with its massive magazine, good accuracy, and staggering rate of fire, it is one of the strongest automatic weapons in Perfect Dark.

Overview[]

Packing a 120 round magazine and a very high rate of fire at 1100 rounds per minute, the RC-P120 outperforms most other automatic weapons in the game. The gun's damage is the same as the CMP-150, but its high accuracy profile along with its blistering rate of fire and huge magazine can make short work of most foes, even against shielded enemies and the Skedar.

The gun also packs a handy secondary mode; a built-in Cloaking Device. However, the gun consumes ammunition very quickly from its magazine to power the cloak, in the same speed as its fire rate, and will continually draw from it as long as the cloak is active and the ammunition supply can hold out. Reloading the gun before or after the cloak has consumed the magazine will not cause the cloak to deactivate, but the cloak can be interrupted at any time by firing the gun. The cloak will in turn reactivate after attacks have ceased for a brief period. Needless to say, frequent reloading is to be expected and high ammunition reserve is recommended as the gun can consume its entire magazine within seconds with or without sustained fire.

Trivia[]

  • In-game, the manufacturer is listed as Chesluk Industries, despite the fact that Foster had been working on it and the description mentions it being made by Carrington Institute, intended as its secret weapon.
    • However, even if the weapon was manufactured by Chesluk, it is possible that Foster was "fixing" it up for the agents, such as the cloaking device in the weapon. Chesluk Industries (CI) may also be considered a working front for the Carrington Institute (CI) or may have lended the original design for the Institute to modify for its operations.
  • The RC-P120 is loosely based on the FN P90 (the name is a reference to the RC-P90 in GoldenEye 007 and the later RCP-90 featured in Perfect Dark Zero, which are more direct copies of the P90; it is present as a classic weapon in Perfect Dark as the RC-P45). Unlike the P90, the magazine for the RC-P120 does not feed from the top; there is a magazine well in the receiver, behind the fire controls, like a conventional bullpup weapon.
  • The RC-P120 shares the same firing sound as the ZZT (9mm).
  • Compared to the K7 Avenger, while the RC-P120 outperforms it in rate of fire and especially the magazine capacity, the rifle, under the Unlimited Ammo - No Reloads cheat, can kill shielded enemies/Skedar slightly faster than the RC-P120, due to the weapon's higher damage output.
