Hit Location System / "More" realistic killing

[Frenzy]

Over @ QuakeWiki, I was reading, and perhaps this is old news to some of you, but I thought you should take a look. It's code that changes the way dmg is recieved based on where a player is shot

Chest - Normal damage
Front of legs - 25% of normal damage
Face - 200% of normal damage
Back - 150% of normal damage
Back of legs - 37% of normal damage
Back of head - 300% of normal damage

Pretty cool.

If you want realism, the MINIMUM amount of damage received should be 125% + values you gave.
Simply because if someone shoots me up close in any part of the legs - I'd be dead. Sure not instantly but bleeding out due to massive bleeding (or slight chance of dismemberment).
Take a shotgun to chest = dead!

Perhaps I meant, "more realistic", I'll edit that But the idea of the thing was why I posted it, I liked the reading!

Would it be possible to adjust it so that only hits from the chest/back area would be affected by armor?
