So?  Someone has to able to hurt the tough.   In return for this, the gunner has
*no* defensive ability.  He doesn't get the blasters 5/- armor, he isn't immune to
his own type of attacks like the hot-shot, he is required to hav a gun with him to
use his powers... letting him bypass armor doesn't unbalance him.  Especially when
you consider anyone can pick up AP ammo and do the same thing.  (I know the rules
don't list AP 20 ammo, but I'm sure DP has some for those special occasions)

You could compromise and give him AP 10 vs natural armor, with extra success over
what is neded for the trick giving an extra AP 5.

Otherwise the gnner will ignore the trick and just make called shots to the eyes
all the time to bypass natural armor (or at least blind the target)
