I once saw a fun fanart/crack theory where her weapon was a huge spiked ball on chain. Similar to the one they use in hammer throw (why on Earth you call it a hammer in English?!).

But on serious note. I think it's unlikely that both Qrow and Summer had scythes. Especially since Qrow has confirmed that he designed Harbinger after Maria/Grimm Reaper's weapon. It takes away the possibility that he added a scythe mode on his weapon in honour of Summer after her death.

I think the best clues can be found from the balance of team STRQ. Both Raven and Qrow are more or less "DPS" fighters of their team who focus more on close and mid range combat. Tai seem to be the melee fighter of the team, possibly similar tank character like Yang. The only thing the team really lacks is support and/or long distance fighter so it's logical to assume that Summer took one or both of those roles.

So that would leave Summer likely having some longer distance weapon like a gun. Maybe pistols like Ren or shot gun like Pyrrha. Probably not a bow because it kind of is one of Cinder's trademarks. I could also see her using something more "feminine", like naginata (women of samurai class commonly trained to use it) or other type of polearm. Or maybe an axe of short, as a little reference towards the Huntsman from the Little Red Ridinghood.
