I wonder if that as to do with the way using the knife to disable them is more effective than just shooting them. |
Nah the knife is due to some weird coding where its damage is tied to the game's fps so the higher frames you have at the moment the more damage it does and most people have 60fps regardless of where they're playing, I don't know how exactly this works but some people speculate that it maybe that Capcom has the knife doing damage per frame of its attack animation so if someone has 120fps they do double damage with it.
In regards to the hitting the Zombies in the feet I think its because each body part has a damage threshold and the feet likely have to lowest so leads to easier stuns/staggers but that's a guess on my part.
