This is what I encountered. I couldn't find the rules at the last minute and 
used the player's version instead. Two sticks of dynamite at the feet of the 
gunslinger in his armoured duster resulted in 4 wounds. Sure he was stunned 
and blown across the room, but really it was only a few chips. Not that I'm 
trying to kill them, but it's nice to have the party scared once in a while 
that they can die.

Spoiler!















Later this same gunslinger went toe to toe with the butcher, called shots to 
the Butcher's weekness every card and hitting! I threw all the modifiers at 
him for range weapons in hand to hand, plus the negative given in the 
adventure and through 4 rounds of combat he missed three times. Luckily I 
had a pack of chips that kept the butcher going.
