Probably I should just use that Body Hits rule and raise gun damage...

CD 6 meaning it hits something vital? Okay maybe. But when I wrote the Gavin Russo death scene in my PbP I asked a Marine I know how many shots an office jockey could take and still keep walking. I subtracted two from that number because it struck me as too high to be believable.

In other words, a gunshot IRL is not an instant kill. Fiction, games...your mileage may vary.
