Aim for the pelvis. It isn't armored, it's easier to hit than the head, and wounds there can be incapacitating or even fatal.

Yes! And it's easier to watch what thier hands are doing when you aim low! Plus most poeple miss high so your shots will still hit the torso. I started training myself to aim for lower gut, instead of center mass when I target shoot.
