[MOC] Zeb's Bo-Rifle made with spare parts

[JekPorkchops]

Obviously Lego's own Bo-Rifle design is terrible and many have asked for a good substitute. I made mine using spare pieces so you guys can recreate it as well if you like it.

I wasn't able to put any tan straps into it, but at least the bley color scheme is a lot closer than Lego's own black color scheme:

His weapon has been extended in Bo-Staff Mode:

This picture shows the weapon in Rifle Mode. An extra exo-force arm has been added as a handle. The other exo-force arm that was already there represents the barrel of the rifle:

I also tried to recreate the 'collapsed mode', a third option. It doesn't change in length however. The handle changes position and the gun piece flips on top of the staff instead of being underneath it:

The dark bley handle that gets removed when switching to the staff mode can be clipped on one of the spots that is still available, for storage, though I've chosen to remove it because the handle sits very close to the main staff when folded in. When in Bo-Staff mode, I used trans dark blue studs to represent the energy at the tips, though you can also use crystals elements like in set 75040 General Grievous' Wheel Bike if you have them in the right color. Chima crystals could work well too.

Bonus: Agent Kallus' Bo-Rifle:

The relative scale of the weapons. They're very simple builds:

Looks OK. Its a hard shape to recreate

[Junior Shark]

Nice. It still isn't perfect, but since it's smaller than the official one I really dig it.

I think your design hits closer to the mark of what we see in the series. Great work!

I will try making this weapon as well, but with 2 different parts.

Compared to what LEGO has given us this is great! You did a great job using available parts, but like others have said, it's just a hard thing to make in LEGO. But I really like this design and wish LEGO had at least tried to put this much effort into theirs.

Nicely done!

These are cool. For mine, I just replaced the 58247 blasters with 61190f blasters which look a lot better. But not as detailed as this.
