If you wa&nt to make physical damage before knocking someone unconscious,
you can use this house rule (I just invented it and so didn't test it):
Each weapon does primary damages. That's physical for pistol and stun for
clubs. If these primary damages (after every dice rolls) are superior to
your body (i.e. you take more than 4 boxes when your body is 4 or less),
you take secondary damage. These secondary damages are physical if your
attack is stun and it's stun if your primary damage is physical. This
damage is equal to half the boxes you took as primary damage.
For exemple, Sam fires with his gun at Bob. After the different dice rolls,
he makes a serious wound which is 6 boxes. Because Bob only has a body of
4, he does write 6 physical boxes of primary damage and 3 stun boxes as
secondary damage.
If you want a more deadly system, you can use half the body to the
comparison to damages. Thus, a sammy with body 12 will still suffer
secondary damage from a serious wound.
