If a Mutilator fails to resist a Mindshackle Scarab, the Necron player gets to choose which weapons the Mutilator will use (by printed rules).

Will this force the weapon choice upon the rest of the Mutilator squad?

There was a similar thread about Deathwing Knights:

Couple of pages of discussion, but I lost interest before the end...

The answer seems to definitely be yes then, but probably only on the Necron player's turn.

It should be regardless of the player turn, Unless both happen at the same time in a phase, such as challenges and Mindschackles. For example, on my turn i can decide that its declare challenges first, Mindshackles second, but the necron player can reverse that on his player turn.
When do Mutilators choose their weapons?

Given both players choose at the same init step (best is 4, otherwise 1) the most likely answer is "the person whose turn it is"
