When I was RAF, we were always told that a good hit from a 7.62 would
take
an arm/leg right off, and as already stated taught to aim for the
largest
body area visible, so from that perspective does it really matter where
your
hit.  

I can see the point of hit locations if doing FMA: RPG (have thought
about
this myself) laserburn has some good hit location tables that take into
account angles etc, will dig them out if interested, in an RPG situation
you
don't want to kill he characters tooooo easily.
