Bo-rifle

The bo-rifle was a type of weapon that uniquely combined the functions of an electrostaff and a blaster rifle, intended for exclusive use by the Honor Guard of Lasan. It was considered a great insult if it was used by anyone else. The only known exception to this was if the individual in question had defeated a guardsmen and been presented with their weapon, in accordance with the Boosahn Keeraw, the warrior way of the Lasat species.
It consisted of a staff that could be collapsed to a length roughly equivalent to a standard blaster rifle. When extended, the weapon's tip(s) were electrified, up to 11,000 volts, either purple or yellow in colorStar Wars Rebels: Visual Guide: Epic Battles and were the primary contact points of the weapon during melee combat. The number of tips on the weapon depended on the model (AB-75 and J-19 had two, the CJ-9 had one). The weapon functioned as a quarterstaff when used in melee combat. When retracted or folded, the weapon functioned as a blaster rifle. The bo-rifle's tips emitted an electromagnetic pulse that stunned opponents and neutralized ray shields. The bo-staff configuration can activate by twisting the top handle downward, pressing both handles inward, and then activating both EMP tips.Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy
Following the devastation of Lasan, bo-rifles were rarely seen in the galaxy, although some would later fall into the hands of both the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire.
Agent Kallus, a member of the Galactic Empire's Imperial Security Bureau, acquired his J-19 bo-rifle via the Boosahn Keeraw, after defeating a Honor Guard in combat during the Siege of Lasan.
