Bowcaster
A weapon unique to the arboreal Wookiees of Kashyyyk, the bowcaster (also called a laser crossbow) is an ancient and curious combination of energy and projectile weapon.

The weapon requires great physical strength to cock and load. The weapon fires explosive quarrels wrapped in an energy cocoon, giving the explosive appearance of an elongated blaster bolt. The weapons are only available on Kashyyyk.
