I just wish that if they were going to make upgrades in 2012 that they should give the player some credit and allow them a preemptive strike... Hell resident evil REmake for the gamecube let you do that.
Mate, I'm certain that the 'being able to shoot zombies that are playing dead' feature was in Resident Evil 2, let alone the GameCube games years later! It may even be in the 1996 original. It's been too many years to remember. Actually, scratch that - it was in the original game!
That room (double blue doors I think?) that connects to the lobby with the statue of a lady with a bowl that has a map in it. You had to push some steps about in order to get the map. Anyway, aside from the door leading out to the main lobby, there's two other ways out. A door to the infamous 'zombie-dogs-through-windows' corridor, and a curtained-opening.
That opening leads to an L-shaped storage area, wherein a zombie is playing dead! Behind him is an ink ribbon, and I distinctly remember shooting him as he lay there. So yeah. Killing zombies that play dead has always been in the series from the outset.
I know what you mean, too. I encountered it in the RE6 demo. It frustrated me that my bullets clipped right through these clearly waiting and not dead zombies. It's an artificial way of inducing dread, I suppose. You know they're not dead, but you can't kill them until they rise. Maybe a necessity in a game where you can just sprint to the checkpoint?
I dunno. It's stupid if you ask me. If the original game let you make your own choice of what to do in that scenario, the sixth instalment 16 years later doesn't really have an excuse for turning that dynamic into a silly scripted event.

Two reasons.1) It's a kind of "I disagree with your nonsense", which I find humorous in a forum setting. 2) The way her face fat jiggles about as she shakes her head also makes me laugh.
Basically, I just find it funny whenever I see it.
