Likewise, a torso shot for most necromorphs is just hitting that spare meat that holds the useful stuff together. While some Necromorphs do fair less well without heads than others (slashers in particular will flail about attacking in your general direction) losing the head is more of an inconvenience than a critical wound. There's very little it needs to control in the head aside from things like eyes and ears, and even less in the torso. This suggests the actual 'creature' is the network of tentacles animating and converting the body, not the body itself. Also consider that necromorphs are a parasitic life-form that infests the body like fungi mycorrhiza- when you cut off limbs, what looks like tentacles wriggle around for a few seconds before retracting inwards.Being unable to spread the infection further, they switch off and become biomass waiting for the time of Convergence, when they will join with other necromorphs to become a Brethren Moon. With the revelation in the sequels that the Necromorphs seek to spread the infection and are capable of remaining dormant for hundreds of years, the theory that the Necromorph's are simply rendered dormant by having their limbs blown off, makes a lot of sense.When it detects that the necromorph no longer has enough limbs to be functional, it could just be withdrawing its control, thus 'killing' the necromorph. Perhaps it's explainable by the fact that they're all telepathically controlled by the Hivemind.Ever wonder how the hell it makes sense that by blowing off all the limbs with the mining tools, you kill the necromorph?.There is a reason why he starts frantically cursing when he stomps in Dead Space 2. Isaac must shoot any dead enemy he finds on the chance they are faking and desecrate human remains because they might attack him? While dealing with the necromorphs is simple because they are nowhere near human, he has to stomp through dead bodies with his own foot, feeling their snapping bones and muscles. Many people complain that the strategies for dealing with dead bodies is obvious and simple (shooting necromorphs that appear to be dead stomping dead bodies to prevent infectors from using them), but that is only because they are only watching the situation.As he's about to stomp, he activates them momentarily, pulling his foot down hard enough to facilitate Ludicrous Gibs. How can Isaac sever limbs, crush skulls and cut through bone with a simple curbstomp? Simple - he's wearing magnetic boots.Again, this is realistic as you are RIGHT next to the explosion, and being physically impacted by the burst of high-pressure gas that created said explosion. To add to this, if you are hit by the pressure wave of an explosion, the air in your suit reacts to it, making a muffled boom sound.

This can seem inconsistent, until you realize this happens for things that vibrate the surface you were standing on, meaning that it was truly being handled realistically, rather than just making everything silent except for player-sourced sounds.

After the initially realistic handling of sound in a vacuum, some external objects suddenly start making sound.

The Javelin Gun (introduced in Dead Space 2) can be used for remote telemetry and analysis of rock launch the javelin spike into the target, and it diagnoses what kinds of ore are inside, or can be used to split apart rocks as well.

The Detonator (introduced in Dead Space 2) is designed to safely blast ore into larger pieces, as well as create 'safe zones' around miners in environments with lots of debris launch mines around the work area, and any object that crosses its path trips the mine, potentially preventing collisions with miners.

The Contact Beam is a portable heavy jackhammer intended to soften tough rocks to get at the minerals contained within.Its blades are sharp enough that it can also cut through solid rock. The Ripper is designed to function as a handheld saw, with a gravity-tether blade making it ideal for cutting objects that are dangerous to approach, such as live wires.
