Yes, I think so, too, but with respect to realism the torso hit is at least better than nothing... ;)

Of course it would be possible to add more detail with a further roll! Could be a nice solution in many cases...

For instance if you targeted at the jaw and missed by only 1, roll 1d6:
1: Completely missed the target.
2-4: Hit to the torso.
5,6: Hit to the nearest attached location. (*)

*: In this case the face.

IMHO something like that would be quite fair and a nice add-on if there is a need for more detail :)
