Converted from Phorums BB System

I think you were a little harsh on the reviewer. Especially as you were basing your assumptions on having the Compendium of Weapons, Armour and Castles, and believing that the Compendium of Contemporary Weapons is going to be more of the same.

It isn't. There are no rules for conversion. There are no generic damage ratings, like there are in the Weapons, Armour and Castles book (rated 0 - 5). There ARE rules for the Palladium system (not much - around 7 pages, 2 of which are the usually reprints from standard Palladium systems (TMNT, Ninjas and Superspies, Beyond the Supernatural (?) and Rifts)).

You could probably convert the firearm stats (penetration on a scale 1 - 7 and damage 1 - 10) but it depends on how much work you want to put into it.

I'd opt for something more generic if you're not running a modern Palladium game.
