During a skirmish on board the Eravana and later in a battle on Takodana , Han Solo used Chewbacca's current bowcaster, which he quickly came to enjoy firing due to it's strong firepower. After Solo was killed during the Battle of Starkiller Base by his son , Kylo Ren , Chewbacca fired at Ren in anger, shooting his bowcaster [7] with the intention of killing the dark side adept. Nevertheless, Ren managed to survive being hit.

However, unlike other modern Wookiee bowcasters, Chewie's is particularly powerful. Because of his proficiency in mechanics, he is able to craft a more advanced version of the Wookiee weapon, which includes an automatic cocking detail -- an upgrade from the traditional version. It also fires metal quarrels sheathed in plasma energy; this is much stronger than a regular blaster, which only fires packets of plasma. The astounding punch of this weapon also comes in part due to the orbs balancing on either side.
But the movie also set up excellently that Ren has a need to vent his anger and frustrations. In short, when his enemies Finn and Rey were standing too far back for him to lash out at them directly, he vented his anger by punching his wound. And as much as the Dark Side is fueled by anger, rage, frustration, and the like, to wallow in the acute pain of his wound would also help him tap into that Dark Side of the Force.
So is that why Rey, who had never wielded a lightsaber before, could defeat the much more experienced Kylo Ren? Great question. It was easy for a viewer to see he was hurt, and hurt badly. How badly? Well, a bowcaster shot bad. But what is a bowcaster and how are they different from the laser guns? Oy vey. After all, Star Wars is a fictional galaxy where the laws of physics might be different for all we know.
After all, a parsec is a unit of time there. So why am I correcting a work of fiction? First, the weapons in Star Wars are not laser guns that fire laser beams. Chewbacca's bowcaster was a traditionally hand-crafted bowcaster weapon belonging to the Wookiee Chewbacca. The bowcaster required the strength of a Wookiee to fire the weapon comfortably, as it fired destructive metal quarrels sheathed in plasma energy [9] that would result in explosive impacts.
There, for the first time, Solo used Chewbacca's bowcaster after the Wookiee was injured in the skirmish and immediately took a liking to the weapon. Chewbacca's bowcaster had a hand-woven strap made of kshyyy-vine , and he carried a bandolier that contained nineteen [8] ammo cases of one to three bowcaster quarrels each.
Chewbacca's carry pouch also contained tools to keep his bowcaster operational.
