Where is that rule, or is it a houserule? About the SM difference greater than 4 making it an area attack.

As a general thing, I do think GURPS should handle this better (unless I'm missing some rules), probably factoring in Move or Basic Speed into it. After all, now we're talking about a simple bug NPC. But what if we were dealing with a "Bug's Life" campaign with bug PCs? Or human PCs vs creatures as big compared to them as we are to bugs. And what if one or more of them (bug or human PC) is a speedster, faster than you'd think they'd be and able to dodge what for others would be theoretically undodgeable based on their size and speed.
