The Banshee's armour is hardened, so it doesn't do any damage anyway. And
don't forget to drop damage level by one, too.

Use Blackjack's armour bypass rules - apply a TN penalty to the firer
equal to the number of points of armour they wish to bypass. If they want
to shoot past an armoured jacket, give them +5; if they want to shoot
a sec long coat, they can tak +2 TN and only 2 points off their gun power,
and so on. This makes heavily armoured character vulnerable to people with
good skill.

Quick 'n' dirty, but also fast 'n' simple <g>.
