It works pretty well in practice.

I've probably got about a dozen games with d% hit location tables.

The most fearsome hit location table I've ever seen is the default system for Tri-Tac Systems (games like Stalking the Night Fantastic, Incursion, FTL 2448, etc.) which has you roll d% for hit location (around 25 or so locations are specified) and then has a 2d6 roll that's handled as two numbers (so the results are 1,1; 1,2; 1,3;...). Each location is roughly about an inch or so of flesh.
