A long hospital stay might partly be due to additional HP damage suffered from the fall itself?
Perhaps what happened was he suffered 1 HP of blunt force trauma from taking 10 small-piercing damage to armor worn overtop his vitals/abdomen (MA137: Solar Plexus) so that it didn't need to be a major wound to force a knockdown check that was failed?
If it was to the chest (upper torso) then unfortunately since piercing attacks can't cause knockbacks (without a special enhancement anyway... should guns have that?) it can't really be dealt with without using a special rule like cutting weapons enjoy where damage just barely passing the DR gets converted to crushing (and thus able to cause knockback)
