It's clearly more significant than mere familiarity penalties. I shoot much much worse off-hand with a weapon that I've probably justified Weapon Bond with than I do even with a wholly unfamiliar firearm (which GURPS RAW gives ridiculous penalties for).

A +2 circumstantial bonus seems inline with a Perk. I still wonder if we shouldn't have "Easy" Techniques as an option to reflect those things that you do still perform at a penalty (or equal to skill) but that you can rapidly raise disproportionate to the control skill's level.
Isn't a perk that removes a penalty the same thing as an "Easy" technique? Either way it's not going to cost less than a point.
