Yeah, it's pretty much just that.
GURPS explosion rules are really bad at modeling real situations, concussion is much worse at killing people and much better at destroying structures than the GURPS rules imply, the scaling is wrong, and shrapnel damage is in large part determined by the design of your fragmentation case.
