AoE Strafe: The gorilla arms that HAVE A REASON!

Like most people, I hate gorilla arms, so close to useful articulation, yet so far, but there're always exceptions to the rules.
Yesterday, I was fiddling with my AoE Strafe because I saw that you could plug the swords to his crossbow, bayonet-style and thought that it didn' really make much sense, then, it hit me. That's not a weird bayonetted crossbow...it's a bow.
Strafe has gorilla arms for this sole purpose, he is supposed to be posed like an archer! Need more proof? Look at his hands, usually, if they sculpt the fingers in a "firing" pose, only the index finger is apart, but on Strafe, it's both the index and the middle finger, he is not firing a crossbow, he is tensing his bow!
The images are too heavy to upload, but here are a couple of links.
