The concept of a Damage Threshold has come up a few times, which could negate damage that's too low to be a serious threat. If any injury (after Wound Modifiers) that doesn't at least equal 1/20 or so of HP is ignored, it could easily handle this case. Alternately, you could fiddle with Wound Modifiers, similar to what the Extreme Damage article did but expanding the table for "higher" piercing modifiers (ie, differentiating between small and large cannon rounds) and beam weapons of varying outputs. That's not as simple though, and the added detail may not be needed.
