Default [Basic Set etc] Weapons as character points

A moment of insanity leads me to wonder if anyone has worked up the weapons lists with character point values...

Thinking of those players who rate everything, value everything, and compare ala "My gun is bigger than yours..." and then what if random things acquired in play altered the PCs character point totals...

This is awkward for muscle-powered weapons, because the damage they do depends on character's strength. You could do it for firearms, but I've never met GURPS players who would want to bother.

There's an enhancement in Powers that allows you to make an Innate Attack ST-based. It's also in Power-Ups: Enhancements.

However, its always swing based, and you need to add at least one point of damage - you can't do sw-2 or thr-4.

There was an old GURPS Half-Life thread where the GM did this for the weapons in Half-Life. I'm away from my computer, but some I'm sure some of our resident search-fu masters can help you with tracking it down.
