I don't have a clear image in my head (mechanics, not a strong suit), but the way I see it the "scabbard" is basically just the gun in a more compact form, and the handle can be detached and a the short blade removed.

When switching to zweihander, the short blade is in the scabbard, and then the scabbard sort of...extends forwards (only a little), widens away from the middle, and then the outer most parts of the halves rotate...forward? (towards the front of the scabbard) extending the length just a bit again.

Then blades that make up the cutting bits extend out from where they were on the inside (the idea being the blades are what's channeling the Dust during gun form).

and I guess the handle lengthens some
