During the production of Predator 2, the special effects team quickly realized it would be impossible to construct a prop that could extend from the Combistick's fully retracted position to its fully extended position, as the change in length between the two was simply too great. As a result, two prop spears were built -- one that could extend the first telescoping section on either side, and a second with those sections already extended and fixed in place that could then extend the final sections out to the weapon's full length. The switch between the two props in the film was masked either through clever cutting, or by having the spear pass out of frame so that a member of the crew could hand Kevin Peter Hall (who played the Predator) the other prop while the Combistick was out of sight of the audience.
