For that reason, I'd rather "promote" gun crits rather than
"demote" hand-to-hand crits.  An 01 on guns is an
insta-kill too.  But then, I tend to do things like ignore
maximum damage for guns anyway.

If you think 1% is too probable for an insta-kill, you
could (to steal d20 terminology), confirm the crit.

You roll a 01.  Roll again.  If you roll under your skill,
it's insta-kill.  If you roll over your skill, your damage
is equal to your skill (so Mr 98-lb weakling with 20%
Struggle has a fighting chance of killing the bad guy but
may end up only doing 20 wounds).  

It lessens the lethality a little bit, but it can still be
nasty.
