You'll still get blunt trauma and enough blunt trauma in the right place
(like the head for example) knocks out.

Over here we:
1: Halve all hitpoints (for PC's:)
2: Use open-ended damage rolls (each 6 means that an *extra* d6 is rolled ad
infinitum).
3: Head and chest rolls for PCs too (but not death, 'just' immediate serious
level *plus* double original damage)
4: Has an extra 'destroyed' wound level at double critical. Destroyed
extremities need replacement, destroyed chest or abdomen means death
(with reservation for low-berthing and other high-tech stuff).
5: Uses damage levels computed with 3G3 (22LR = 1D, 9Para = 2D, 5.56 = 4D,
7.62 = 5D).

I'm working on redoing most weapons with 3G3, and although I've got as far
as to rifles it is placed below several other more important things on my
'stack'.
But I *will* post the armour list I made.
