Generally, firearms are more powerful than arrows, and GURPS reflects this; small pistols are about as damaging (ranging between 1d and 2d), large pistols more so (3d is typical) and rifles considerably more so (4d to 7d). However, if you want to invent some sort of fantasy gun that only does as much damage as an arrow, it would be pretty easy to do.

From what I gathered in the other thread, there was some sort of argument about guns being overall less lethal than low-tech missile weapons. I didn't quite know how to word what I was trying to say.
