Of course Major Wounds will do the same sort of thing for BRP.

But my argumentation is based on the assumption that in order to play a cinematic western game you probably only need to double the amount of hitpoints for PCs to achieve the effect you want and
not to introduce fate points while letting the hitpoints as they are.
Your argument was that lethality rate in wild west was historically not so high (indirectly saying the BRP is too deadly to be historically accurate) and that fate points would correct this problem. Which led me make the comment that this true but only because there have been not many duels in history and that the "western games" which your improvement suggestion is adressed to, are purely pulp and cinematic and thus not much historical. (indirectly saying that I think your assumption that a "western game" should be historically accurate by reducing the lethality of BRP is not right)
