Message: <blockquote data-quote="Allister" data-source="post: 58617" data-attributes="member: 1082">GURPS is usually equated to be a realistic system but as it stands, it is a bit too lethal and actually not realistic. The average damage from a modern-day firearm is in 2d to 3d range. Average person only has a HT of 10. Contray to popular opinion, most people shot by a firearm survive with ease since shots to the legs, arms and non-vital parts of the torso are WAY more common than shots to the heart or head. Barring suicide or a murder at point-blank range,  you generally won't kill a person with a gun outright (barring blood loss).This has been known to hospital and police departments for many years but for some reason, people equate guns with instant death.</blockquote>
