Ongoing calculation on how many rounds it takes to down enemies. Current Values Calculated While playing the resident evil 2 remake, i was testing weapon damage values on Leon (Normal). Here are the results so far:

The shotgun has surprisingly high damage (even without upgrades), very comparable with the magnum.
The flamethrower is especially effective against Birkin 2 (crane). currently testing other forms.
While the albert handgun seems effective for zombies with bodyshots, headshots with all handguns appear have similar head damage.
Zombies tend to fall down with 3 headshots, or 6 bodyshots.
Player character health is 1200.
(Obvious) always have a knife equipped if you plan on killing something. You can get 3 uses.
