From what I can tell the location damage does exist.

The hit points for each location is probably lower for gameplay purposes.

The realism types could easily make a mod or tweak that would make the hit points more intense.

I was asking 2015 to add a realism option in a future patch where it would make the hitpoints harder - perhaps just make it a command line setting for server admins.

But even if that doesn't happen, it would be a simple mod to make say a Torso shot more deadly than a lower leg shot, etc.

Does that help or just confuse more?
