Yeah, I didn't like Han running around firing it. I know its EU and all, but what made the Bowcaster cool is that it was too heavy and big for humans to use it.
I do like that it was throwing storm troopers back 10 yards (sucks for Steve though, hopefully we see him in the next movie, or one of the individual movies.
But that alone made it clear how powerful it was.
I remember it was one of the weapons in the Jedi Knight series of games, and it was a devastating weapon with a one shot kill. Plus the secondary shot a fan of blasts in a arc so it could clear a room.
