They can if you use the extra rules in Martial Arts for such things, and in the case of random knockdowns from getting shot or punched in the 'centre of mass' you'd also need the rules giving a 1-in-6 chance of a torso hit landing on the vitals. However, that still leaves the issue of blunt trauma being a form of injury, and not a type of damage, and thus not having special effects of this sort.
