One of my problems was that they have armor but the armor is useless against most of the weapons.. Might as well not wear it at all..

It's a game and it should be fun, so if you don't think it feels right then change it until is does

.
It's been a while since I've played v1 but if I recall the damage scales with range (which it doesn't in later versions in which penetration does but not damage). Leaving aside that each 'hit' is caused by up to 3 bullets in the 'shot' it's still not fun getting hit once and being screwed. My memory of playing v1 is me running across an open yard, getting shot in the arm, and spending the rest of the campaign dying from infection. That and grenade fishing.
Could you post the damage rules and hits per location equation so that I can refresh?
