You've got to wonder how accurate Spirit's weapon is since it just shoots arrow heads. LOL! For my updated, custom Spirit, I gave him an MTF compound bow as a secondary weapon.
Same for Scarlett, I always considered the cross bow as more of a secondary weapon, and I don't think Hama depicted her in the comics as using the cross bow as much as a machine gun, but I could be wrong there. I'd have to go back and look at the old Marvel series.
I also got the idea that Hasbro didn't want the female figures to have traditional military weapons. In the 80s, it didn't seem that any female figure just came with a machine gun. Even Baroness had a "laser rifle." Maybe there was an issue with portraying females as combatants.
