Well, for instance, in the time frame of SWG, between ANH and TESB, there were not like 20 jedi running around any given starport. Definitly a break in continuity. So worrying about whether a race other than wookies can equip a bowcaster or not seems a bit silly.

Ok, true, but there is also give and take involved. By yours, we could throw out anything found in the movies/books/comics/etc... based purely on the fact that Jedi are everywhere. Just because one thing does not fit does not mean that you can use that as an excuse in other areas.

I think it is slightly ironic that Riflemen do not have a kenetic rifle, especially since the rifled barrel was invented to increase the accuracy of a solid round.

lol......He's never used Kneecap Shot before........lol. I'd almost swear they run faster AFTER we use our so-called snare.

i think as it stands, the guns are fine, there are plenty of options to play with, and if youre lucky, you can still get some really good stuff going. but the bowcaster makes wookiees special, like a few have said, its one of the things that only we get, and yea, wooks get jipped on clothing like crazy, (WOOKIEE BROTHERS, DONT FORGET THE BELT AND BANDOLIEER, we can wear those too) and if you hadnt noticed, the bowcaster is considerably faster speed at crafting time than most of the energy rifles, this is what we get for lacking the ability to stack up rifle speed tapes. also, the fallan hyperrifle(i think its called) has a 900+(again not entirely sure) max damage, so all you lazy humans, zabs, twis, and various other races, get off your lazy butts and go get your own good stuff.

my alt is rifles ranger . I just don't think the best ranged class should win over kinetic damage. You guys have it and at 65 M. I have a 950 damage kin weapon at 35 m.

Anything that gave a bowcaster to non-wooks would also be totally uncannon. There is a reason only wooks can use them: only wooks have the strength needed to arm a bowcaster.

I don't even know whats best. And sac under 70 is fine with right foods.

Anyways you guys already have kinetic rifles is the point, and they are plenty gooden. So yeah... I just don't think this is that important. and Kinetic damage is only a big deal on noobs in energy recon armor.
