We used exploding dice or bigger crits for guns with smaller dice (4's or 6's). They would do a lot of damage or relatively little. They were rare and valuable, the powder cost a lot. They took a long time to reload. We made the range pretty poor as well. Bang for the buck they weren't really worth it, but everyone wanted one. For a pure gun combat system I really liked the Friday Night Fire Fight supplement in the original shadow run. It was a bit clunky but modeled real gunfights well.
