The only facet that separates it from fellow blaster rifles is its enhanced melee, although considering opportunities to melee are so scarce, usually any user will find that going out of the way to aim for melee kills is usually a recipe for a quick and easy death.

The actual blaster of the CJ-9 Bo-Rifle is underwhelming, performing so ─ generally speaking ─ at any range, due to its pitiful damage output, below-average RPM, and average accuracy and Cooling Power.

Disadvantages: the CJ-9 Bo Rifle is generally incredibly weak when it comes to raw power, so being forced into gunfights ─ particularly those in which slow albeit precise shots are not on the agenda ─ make it quickly futile.

When it comes to the actual blaster, the Bo-Rifle is particularly poor, only able to net quick kills when aiming for the head.

Advantages: thanks to its vastly-enhanced melee, the CJ-9 Bo Rifle can quickly dispatch any enemy at closer ranges meaning it gains the upper hand on most weaker blasters, such as most Heavy Blasters, or versus any unsuspecting infantry.

You can not claim this weapons in a private match. The CJ-9 Bo-Rifle is unique in that it can only be obtained by killing someone wielding the blaster online. With the Lasat nearly disappearing from the galaxy entirely, many bo-rifle would fall into the hands of the Galactic Empire, and, naturally, the Rebel Alliance. The Bo-rifle originated from the Lasan High Honor Guard, a military group situated on the Lasat homeworld of Lasan, which, alongside the entire planet, was driven to near-extinction during its pacification, in which Imperial forces committed mass genocide on its people in order to prevent an uprising. The CJ-9 Bo-Rifle was a model of the traditional Bo-rifle, which was typically less rotund and much more crude in terms of design. Unlike most weapons in the game, it lacks a trigger guard. The CJ-9 Bo-Rifle is also fitted with optics, giving it place as a range weapon. Protruding from below its barrel is the blaster's signature electrified staff, which has several external wires, most likely as means of transmitting its lethal electrical signal.

Its barrel is rotund in shape, with a small emitter nozzle at its far side, which delivers its blaster bolts. The CJ-9 Bo-Rifle is notably long in size, likely as a safety precaution to avoid its electrified staff.
