I am not talking about the general concept of "dungeons" in the entire hobby, but rather the specific implementation of "classic FRPG" tropes in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy or Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game. I am saying that just taking say the barbarian templates and switching melee weapon skills for Guns and Gunner isn't going to produce anything that looks like a I-Cop trained for the dungeon.

Yeah, that makes sense.
