I'm pretty sure the point of using firearms is to be able to make many highly lethal attacks at a distance well outside melee range, and to make them effectively without years of training or a high degree of physical conditioning.

If you don't think firearms are particularly useful, don't use them when you play. Let the GM and/or other players use them instead. You might change your mind after that. :P

Keep in mind that the "realism" of the GURPS system is biased towards heroic action adventure, not depressingly gritty simulation. You can get to gritty simulation pretty easily, but it does take a little tweaking. As sir_pudding notes, Martial Arts has some suggestions for that.
