It's a wonky rule, IMO. I understand the premise of the argument, but it fiddles too much with the GURPS system. There are limits to how we can remake GURPS, and too how much we can "simulate" weapons and armor. This is one of those "nice tries" that ultimately causes far more problems than it fixes. The abdomen rule in LT does the same thing. Again, IMO. YMMV.
