Nutshots are one of 3 actual locations with a damage multiplier, second is the back and the third is the head. It's not a one-hit kill, like it used to be when it's first released. It's also really more considered luck-based, instead of just being aim-based due to gun recoil/etc.

To me it's more of a humor factor, heck I play as Hawk to actually be reasonable. I get nutshot sometimes, big deal it's just a little joke factor in CA.
