A typical bowcaster holds a total of 210 shots, and can be put to use as a shotgun or a sniper rifle equally well. Firing the weapon uncharged will produce a line of around seven projectiles which can be devastating at close range and reasonably affective at engaging enemy infantry at a distance.

A skilled marksman will make good use of the charge feature on the weapon. Charging the weapon fires a single, but more powerful shot. This has the potential to deliver, as a regular sniper rifle would, a killing head-shot.

The weapon is also equipped with a telescopic sight, similar to that found on a sniper rifle in that it can zoom in twice to afford the user astonishing range. Combined with the accuracy of the weapon, which makes delivering a head-shot all the more likely, a skilled marksman will find that this weapon is almost essential for sniping, certainly as effective as, if not more, effective than a standard sniper rifle, in that its user can engage in close combat as well as having the capability to eliminate infantry from a considerable range, a valuable asset and devastating on the battlefield.

The weapon is also notable for having been used by the wookiee, Chewbacca.
