I agree that this probably is the best way to go about making up 
rules for any game but there is a major problem with playability 
in the case of firearms. There are a couple of technically 
fantastic games out there that handle gunshot trauma but they are 
so complicated that they are virtually unplayable.

So as usual I will look for a simple fix even if it isnt that 
realistic.

The other problem is what do you do about weapons that you have 
less information to work with. 

Ie. railguns a weapon that uses magnetics to accelerate a slug to 
incredible speeds to do pure kinetic damage.

Or lazers (much more information for this one) high intensity 
light beam that burns through target.

Or partical beam weapons that are basically a combination of the 
railgun and lazer.
