Hm... yes, this sounds reasonable. But it should only be applicable if actively
using that skill for that purpose, though, not a 'generic' modifier.
(I guess that's the way you intend it, but it shouldn't go without mention.).

ABout skill being determined by what kind of character it is...

It doesn't ring well with me. Either the character knows about firearms and
their effect on people, or they don't. The effect you mention might be
due to a combination with Stealth, though, or using stealth instead.
