Thx for explanation (really, no sarcasm).
Back to the theme:
I think, that no bonuses should be given to unarmed chars.
Instead of this:
-running system should be reworked(moar weight = less running speed)
-sneak system should be reworked (bigger gun\ better armour = more chance to notice you)
-some weapon issues should be solved (i think it'll be more painful, when someone stabs you in face with a knife(whatever you wear), than when someone bursts you in good-armored torso (as far as all non-aimed shots count as torso-shots))
All of this will help unarmed people somehow
