I feel compelled (curse this nitpicky nature!) to point out that this isn't true. Every nonmagical weapon usually has a Power rating (as well as its Accuracy rating), which adjusts the damage up or down accordingly. A punch does 1d6 - 3, while a shotgun does 1d6 + 3. It's not trying for GURPS levels of plausibility, but they don't do the same damage.
(In that example, in fact, it's impossible for them to do the same damage. Barring other modifiers, the most you can do with a standard punch is 3 Body hits of damage, while the least you could do with a successful shotgun blast would be 4.)
