In our world a Barret .50 caliber sniper rifle weighs in at about 30 pounds, by replacing certain large components with carbon fiber you can drop that by almost half, and Remnant likely has access to more advanced materials which enable them to replace thing like the gun barrel with a lighter component.

All that said, i think the Crescent Rose likely weighs in at about the same 30 pound mark as the real world rifle iti s based on, once tou account for the extra components that form the blade and folding mechanisms.
