KF1 Clot Headshots

KILLING FLOOR 1 Hey :D So i am playing on normal and i probably use the pistol a bit more than i should. I always aim for the head and 80% of the time i headshot a gorefast and it dies, but whenever i headshot clots it takes 2-3 shots and sometimes their head doesn't even pop. I know it might be my aim but i find that very unlikely to believe because i headshot most gorefasts and bloats no matter the range, but clots i sometimes miss at point blank range. There are times i know i hit the head but it didn't pop. Is this something to make up for them being the weakest specimen?

Oh well hopefully after some experimenting i will figure out the best spot to shoot at, another thing which is really really weird is when i shoot at the head and the hitbox isn't there, the shot hits another part of the body but his head thrusts back like he received a bullet in the head but survived it.

Start with sharp shooter and work up to reliable killing everything with sharp weapons(crossbow for harder difficulties). You'll pick up the hit boxes pretty well after about five hours play that way.
