Monty himself called it a High Caliber Sniper Scythe and said that the design was basically him taking a sniper rifle, putting a scythe blade on it, and then making some tweaks.

"It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle!" - Ruby Rose, in The Shining Beacon, when she shows Crescent Rose to Jaune.

It's a bolt action sniper rifle. We've seen her use the bolt action part multiple times. Hell, I'll link you to the exact times of some of the moments where we saw it up close, in case you don't believe Live.


 * Red Trailer - Here Watch that through to about 1:53. Throughout the first half of the Red Trailer, if you pay close enough attention, you can see her using the bolt action. At the part I linked, we get a closer view, right before she stabs the blade into the ground and we get a clear view of her using it over and over again while shooting Beowolves.


 * Players and Pieces - For some bolt action in Crescent Rose's gun form, pay close attention here.
