Well, here's what I made. I decided to use Qrow's scythe mechanism, albeit slightly advanced. This is a combination of two hammers. They are two sledgehammers that combine through a locking mechanism by three pivot points. In the singular hammer mode, the lower half combines as the handles shift from the pivots to lock in place. The lowest pivot also contains the bowstring which strings itself up when combined. When in bow form, the hammer heads rotate. There is a small rail on the top of the hammer that allows the bow grip to shift into place as the hammers turn to make the bow form. The hammers' wedge goes into the core and locks the grip when it is in place. The handguards extend over the limbs to give it that bow compound longbow shape. Now due to the weight, you need to be pretty strong to draw the bow. And if you decide to use this as a quarterstaff, it packs a punch.
