What should I know?

I've been hit with the allure of fighter-combat based games for a while now, and I make decent use of vehicles on my normal games. Recently, I've been using GURPS Spaceships rules chopped up and made up to run a mecha game.

While that worked out pretty well, I desired more detail- and more rules. spaceships will simply not really do fighter combat. So, I've been thinking for a month or so to buy GURPS Vehicles 3e (since vehicles 4e seems to be vaporware rivaled only by half life 3), but it occurred to me that some rules might get really weird once they're transferred over.

For example, I remember hearing guns in 3e only do blunt damage and piercing doesn't exist. As someone who has never read third edition GURPS, what should I know before I think further on buying?
