Default Rules for customizing firearm damage as penetration

I remember reading rules for customizing modern firearms' damage more as armor penetration and less as HP damage.

I cannot find these rules anymore and I wonder if there was more detail to them than I remember. Does anyone remember in which book / Pyramid they can be found?

Many thanks in advance.

With the amount of GURPS content and rules, it might be interesting to explore an idea of a search engine that would output book or Pyramid titles as references... probably the documents themselves could be removed from it once indexed.

David Pulver published "Survivable Guns" which basically suggested giving most firearms a (2) armor divisor but dividing dice done in half.

GURPS firearms are already calibrated vs penetration, but the above makes it so that to do spectacularly fatal injury, you need to hit a prime location.
