I'd say even further that the damage bonus provided by impaling and large piercing attacks to the torso is for exactly this reason - a penetrating injury has a large chance of interfering with organs, even if it doesn't directly strike them (ie, Vitals hit). Rather than rolling for the exact organs disrupted by a bullet or blade, GURPS abstracts that into a simple wound modifier.
