So far, the conversations in the Guild chat have yielded a favorable tilt toward longbows for similar reasons -- muscle and so forth, but the arbalest thing is certainly true. One of the advantages the orcs have is that they're stronger and they might be able to take advantage of human designs in a way that humans could not imagine.
Ah-ha, but while a longbow might have range, it is helplessly inferior. I dare you to cave in a man's head with a flimsy longbow - now, a steel arbalest on the other hand... Plus, you know, pavises and kettle hats are badass.
