I like tweaks where swung damage is about 1.5 x thrust damage and ST 2x does twice the thrust damage of ST x, but in my last game I never bothered, it was a 'nerd tweak' to keep my autistic brain happy not something which made the game better for the players. This can work well if you re-scale what 1 HP of damage means.
I think there is a David Pulver article in Pyramid called "Survivable Guns" which gives full-power rifles and up about half damage and double Armour Divisor.

They have too good armour penetration. I would not say they do an unreasonable amount of damage.
