In GURPS you can never actually hit more then your skill at best, and can't keep firing holding your weapon on a point of aim after you find it. So it seems it is a bit unrealistic. any way to handle it better?
You're assuming the bullets that hit are in order just because the math is in order. If you look at the rules for rapid fire gaining a bonus to hit (B.373) you will realize that the more shots you take at a target the higher probability one will hit. This suggests if you fire 10 bullets and 2 hit, it may not be the first two bullets you fired out of the chamber.
