This is very much one of the aspects of the Rifts system that I wouldn't want to carry over. I think using the damage to armor rules, or even making armor semi-ablative, is reasonable, but turning armor into a pile of extra HP as opposed to something that stops damage doesn't seem like a good idea. I mean, think about it: I shoot you in the arm for 5 points of damage, so when I shoot you in the leg next turn the armor will only stop 45 instead of 50? Bleah. "How armor works" is not something that should be carried over, IMO. If I was trying to convert D&D to GURPS, I wouldn't try to make the armors all make you harder to hit and do away with damage resistance in an attempt to mimic AC, after all.
