If a Kick hit the foot, then maybe it *wasn't* a front snap kick: an opening for a front snap kick didn't present itself. Instead, an opening for a low roundhouse presented itself, and you took it, chopping at the opponent's ankle. Uppercut itself is a special case, since the wording for the Technique explicitly limits it to upper-body hit locations.

I get that, and with GURPS, you really have to wait until all of the rolls are done before you can actually narrate stuff. But it still can lead to whack results. What happens if you throw a punch and the GM rolls foot? What about throwing a Knee and rolling neck?
