You would almost have to have the target subdued so that you could point the gun into the eyesocket at a low angle, like some sort of rimfire lobotomy for that to happen (which would actually be kind of badass, if ridiculously dangerous to attempt even for the slow zombies). Also bullets lose a lot of speed when deflecting against something, a gun like a .22 caliber pistol would leave you with the projectile deflecting once and then stopping, so it would be less like a pinball trajectory, and more like a V or checkmark shaped trajectory.

You can make a .22 caliber pistol really pretty quiet even with a small silencer though, which I think would have its appeal in a setting like Resident Evil, particularly if one was gonna attempt to shoot zombies through the eye socket.
