When as a teenager I plugged some of those 19th century musket tests against fixed targets into the GURPS model, I had no problem reproducing them with reasonable skill levels. YMMV.

I would be surprised if those other systems are any more accurate than GURPS if you look closely at the numbers and compare experimental data. And can you imagine how much work it would be to get performance at different ranges under combat conditions for every weapon in
High Tech?
I have never had a game session be less fun because a weapon performed slightly differently than it probably would in the real world, if the real world had magic, demons, and Gunslinger. Sometimes we shrugged and said "that is not not we think it works, but changing the rules would be too much work and might not be any better, so lets do what they say and get on with the adventure."
