I understand that there's a parasite in these zombies, but I'd like to think that aiming for a specific body part does more than create a visual effect. There isn't any noticeable difference in slowing factor. And it doesn't mean much anyway when you're at distances and in piles large enough that make a gun useless, which undermines the whole point of tactical targeting.
To me, the machete should be the most powerful weapon, because it's used in close quarters, and you should be able to chop heads off if aimed correctly. It's not like that'd be a game breaker, what with all the zombies that wield flaming crossbows and Molotov Coctails...
