They fire bows.

I always imagined them doing the Naruto run majestically across the plains.

I think it depends partially on where it sits on the centaur scale.

they clack together two halves of split open coconuts to confuse the enemy

Maybe they Naruto run while galloping

With the whole upper half bobbing up/down like a horse nodding it's head while it runs.

They hold a polearm. Always.

Hmm, humans swing their arms while running to counteract angular movement. Presumably, the horse undercarriage wouldn't have this problem, because there's more legs in an offset motion and just some distance between the pairs of legs to hold the body straight.

But horses nod their heads during gallop, so maybe the centaurs would do a little chug-chug motion with their arms instead.

Hold a shield and spear or somethin like that maybe?

I have visual references

Spank the butt

One hand scrolls through tiktok and the other holds an iced coffee, just like humans do while driving a car.

Naruto run.

They shoot you with their bow.

Does no one watch Xena anymore?

They shoot arrows with a bow?!

They cross their arms since they also don't know what to do with them.

They place them majestically on their hips, as if they're the captain of a boat.

Just windmilling their fists like wrecking balls.

they hold them out in front of themselves like they’re holding motorcycle handlebars and they make the sounds with their mouth

This is the real reason centaurs are almost always drawn with bows and arrows. Not for horse archer vibes, so the artist had something to do with their hands.

or

they actually just bend down and use the human arms to help walk (more legs = faster, since less time without touching ground, more time propelling themselves forward)

In all the media I've seen the arms basically just stay in place, half bent.

Random, but I've just now realised centaurs can't shake hands with the milkman.

If you'd imagine how much something like a centaur would need to eat, they'd probably carry snacks.

I would be holding on to my dick and balls so they don't smack me in the asshole every gallop.
