Bullets going thrugh one person and then hitting another is _normal_ for Gurps. It's just that after the first "blowthrough" the hit chance is a 9 or less for anyone in the right hex. Those are the odds Gurps uses for random events like unaimed bullets.

You want to be exempt from that rule so what you want is in the general category of a Rules Exemption Perk. You'd want to buy it twice to be able to hit 3 ina row. More would probably require soemthign like a.50 BMG. The average human body takes 10 HP off of a bullet that blows throught it but you can turn that 10 HP into 30 by htting the Vitals and tripling the damage.

The full write-up with correct nomenclature is probably something like Rules Exemption PerK: Aimable Blowthrough * with the asterisk meaning you must specialize by Skill or even Weapon. There would also be a "dagger" mark menaing that multiple levels are possible. If it went into a published book it might get a catchy name like "Line em Up!".
