Yes, assuming that the cover has sufficient AV to stop the round. You might also have come across the reason for the slightly skewed table - a lot of "hits" will actually miss because the randomly rolled location isn't possible and that is only relevant for PCs and key NPCs.

If you work through the percentages for each location they are:

Head - 10%
Right Arm - 10%
Left Arm - 10%
Chest - 10%
Abdomen - 20%
Right Leg - 20%
Left Leg - 20%

This is quite different to the T2013 table:



That gives the following percentages (which are quite different):

Head - 5.5%
Right Arm - 16.7%
Left Arm - 16.7%
Chest - 16.7%
Abdomen - 11.1%
Right Leg - 16.7%
Left Leg - 16.7%

I'm not quite shure, though. One could argue about the 5/6 to the abdomen. It would be just as reasonable to locate all rolls of 4 and 5 to the chest.

I never played it that way, but the original Table might not be the best.

Thanks for this alternate suggestion. The percentages for it work out as follows:

Head - 12.5%
Right Arm - 12.5%
Left Arm - 12.5%
Chest - 12.5%
Abdomen - 25%
Right Leg - 12.5%
Left Leg - 12.5%

I'm actually considering an alternate set as follows (based on rolling a d20):

Head - 1 to 2 - 10%
Right Arm - 3 to 5 - 15%
Left Arm - 6 to 8 - 15%
Chest - 9 to 11 - 15%
Abdomen - 12 to 14 - 15%
Right Leg - 15 to 17 - 15%
Left Leg - 18 to 20 - 15%

What do people think?
