Well, one look at Crescent Rose in action definitely looks like a murder carousel waiting to happen, so even an onlooker would say that Crescent Rose is pretty dangeorus. Compare and contrast with the other weapons shown so far, only Gambol Shroud can compete in terms of lethalness.

I think we can go further, they only thing they get as a reference is a base model, and since Ruby likes her weapon awesome, she decided to use the coolest and most badass weapon she can think of at that time: a scythe. So she went with that, and added the rifle aspect later on, when she realized just how utterly impractical it is carrying a 6-8 foot long stick of death is.

I'd say that might be the inspiration for Crescent Rose in the first place. Her parents or Crow (or even Yang) could've mentioned one of Ruby's relative using a scythe (Hell, maybe both Crow and Summer Rose did) before, and that's when she decided she'll also use one as well.
