I think that Mantic should have just gone with single arm firing poses. If you can't fire an assault rifle with one hand then your big bad power armor is insufficiently cool, and must be sent back to R&D immediately.
That being said, I think the compromise of shaving down the arm on the inside to get a firing pose was a reasonable one. Firing poses are hard to do in multipart plastic. I think it is disappointing, and will hurt the sales for the kit in the broader community a bit, but won't stop me from picking up the set at retail at some point.
Also, while I agree this is another "Mantic: Almost" I think they are getting closer and closer to a truly incredible plastic release. This is light years beyond their recent efforts. In another couple of years or so Mantic will release one of those kits that will keep selling for years to come and become a wargamer must have.
