I think you need to address other variables before buying into that too much. For instance, if you use a large enough projectile, I don't think it matters where in the head it is hit - it will explode.

That might not even be the best word (explode) since it might insinuate the head is made of explosives. Rapid expansive fragmentation caused by application of extreme external force might be better.
