As for Zombies ... they do change things because their bodies do not react to the impact in the same way. The same amount of force hits them, but their reaction would be different.
Given the context I should have said conservation of momentum, which can be derived from Newton's third law but is more general. But besides that, yes, you are correct .

How a self-powered body reacts to injury does not effect physics surrounding the impact of the bullet. (I can't believe I'm discussing the physics of shooting Zombies! )
