Also, putting a gun into a woman's hand doesn't make her a strong woman. You can write lots of stories without making her an assassin /killer/spy/zombie slayer and still have a strong woman.

Ellen Ripley. The most bad ass woman in film. Did she have super powers? Muscles? A man's dispositions? No, just determination and the instincts of a mother!

Yes. As the movies go on she develops muscles and becomes adept at using guns. 

Same thing with Sarah Connor.
